Shoohada Khanom is a children’s author, writer, and home educator. She has published several Muslim-faith picture books and a couple of journals. She has written for Amaliah and Hayati magazines and has a short story and poem published in an anthology. Shoohada was born and raised in London, UK, and lives a busy life, splitting her days between home-educating a few of her children and other responsibilities. When she’s not writing, she likes to spend time with her family, read, and sip tea. Shoohada believes representation is important, and by sharing her lived experiences and the layers of her British, Bangladeshi, and Muslim identity, she can inspire empathy and connection amongst people.
