I’ve been sitting on this news for a while. Well, not just sitting. There has been some writing, sketching, and painting, too.
My debut picture book comes out in 2023!
(Yes, books are acquired by editors way before they are released into the world). With a second book coming out in 2024.
Thank you to my incredible agent, Tanusri Prasanna of Defiore & Company, and the amazing team at @versifybooks / @harpercollins for believing in me and my books.
When I was in grade school, a guidance counselor told my mom that I would not be as good at English as I am in Math because English is my second language. Today I can say I am a published author/ illustrator. Don’t let anyone tell you what you can or can not be.
My first book deadline is just around the corner. So back to work!
Alhamdullilah.
