I was so excited to participate in TeachingBooks and share the behind the scenes of my following books. I was interviewed by Katie; the neat thing about this interview is that Katie had a full conversation with me, and when they edited the audio, they put just my voice and some key highlights, so it sounds like I’m speaking naturally, but that’s because I was actually speaking to Katie. Thank you for putting me at ease!
In the interviews, I share my writing process, where I may have come up with the idea, and what I hope readers will walk away with after reading my books.

Thank you again Katie!

Eid Mubarak!
Lastly, Eid Mubarak to all those who celebrate! For public schools with students who celebrate Eid, please make sure that you don’t plan important activities on these days such as Picture Day, Spelling Bee, field trips, etc! I was surprised by how many messages I got where people messaged me to say their Eid did fall on picture day!
Eid Mubarak and THANK YOU for the AMIRA’S PICTURE DAY support! Here are some Ramadan/Eid books we’ve loved!
