The Author
Salaam and hello!
I'm Tamara Haque - strategist by day, writer by night and a mom 24/7.
I am Bangladeshi by ancestry, grew up in Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and then made Australia my home.
My mother taught me to read at three and I've had a lifelong love for books since then.
My post-graduate studies exposed me to decolonial literature and I've slowly been trying to decolonise all aspects of my life.
I write stories for kids that look like me and to be build empathy and familiarity in kids who don't.
My first self-published book STORIES OF 20 MIGHTY MUSLIM HEROES released in 2021, followed by the sequel STORIES OF 20 MORE MIGHTY MUSLIM HEROES in 2022.
My first traditonally published book will be released April 2027 titled THE RICE FEAST.
You can read more about and purchase the MIGHTY MUSLIM HEROES below.
