I began writing and editing when my husband and I began farming in a cabin in the Nile Delta. Decades later, we live on the edge of the Sahara Desert, just a few minutes from the Giza Pyramids, and have a desert farm for fruit and a nursery for landscape gardening.
In addition to writing and editing, I previously worked as a teacher, specialising in developing literacy skills for pupils who sometimes found reading tough.
Now I write full-time, create educational materials and have just begun publishing my books and educational resources.

In Rime Time, we explore the benefits of these rhymes for children and uncover the story behind Mother Goose.
How many nursery rhymes can you still remember? Probably more than you realise.
Nursery rhymes play a powerful role in children’s foundational language growth. What's more, rhyming adds joy to the process of learning to read!
