For those of you who don’t know, I have two little ones at home, one girl and one boy Alhamdulillah. I am confident that there are many children’s books out there inspired by the children of authors, so I guess mine is not any different from that aspect. BUT something important is that my book is relatable to many children: the curious, the imaginative, the anxious, the confused, the adventurous, and so on.

One of the exciting aspects of writing and publishing your own children’s book is that you get to add as many personalized touches as you want. I can sit here all day and list them for you before you read my book, but that would be boring. I want you to look carefully at all the little details once you get your hands on “The Coolest Career”.

The characters were in fact inspired by my two children, and many of the scenarios are as raw and real as you can imagine. BUT, the process of writing a book for young readers or listeners takes a certain level of focus, patience, and skill, three factors that I have when I follow my passion!

Until this day, I cannot comprehend how I was able to finish this “passion project” from start to finish, but here we are ! I hope this motivates you to do whatever brings your heart joy. No tantrum or negative self-talk should stop you… okay maybe, but just START! With love,Ruba
