A first-generation child of Pakistani immigrants, Maryam never felt Pakistani or English and had to find the balance of being both of these things and something entirely new all at once. Watching immigrant children come into her classes, she realized they also had stories and experiences that hadn't been told. Maryam decided she wanted to write stories for them. She is a strong believer in the idea of a global citizen--we are all connected in this world and we should learn about everyone around us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnna Wilson was born in Australia's Snowy Mountains, spent her childhood moving houses and schools, and then spent most of her adult life traveling the world. She is inspired by people and places and studied and worked with these concepts for a long time before embarking on a new career as a freelance designer and illustrator. She loves storms and snow and is happiest running in the mountains, drawing in the streets of new cities, or imagining up new characters and worlds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Crocodile Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51276844007698,"sku":"9781623716417","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_e04f06ff-0175-45be-ad76-7338e763b5dd.jpg?v=1747142186","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/taste-of-home-9781623716417","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
