A beautiful review for A Dupatta Is...

This is the year y'all! This is year I'm going to be a published MG author!

I can't wait for you to meet Aarzu.

Think Bend it Like Beckham, but with Pakistani Cricket + throw in a patriarchal uncle!
Think Pakistani food and innocent fun.
Think identity and chasing dreams!

Just two sleeps before the release of Friday Fun, I thought it would be cute to doodle a mini-me and my over-the-top excitement! Also, it’s illustrated by @anooshasyed.com (a dream come true) and my publisher is amazing @littlebeebooks 🎈

At nearly midnight Pakistan time, my phone pinged twice. Dear friends at #ncte2024 @kirstenwlarson.bsky.social and @cindyjensonelliot spotted my debut PB bio: Yasmeen Lari, Green Architect on the Orbis Pictus list of recommended books! What a wonderful surprise! Wohooo! @harpercollins.bsky.social
November 26, 2024 at 2:59 PM
I had the most amazing time meeting Yasmeen Lari and showing her the biography I wrote about her (illustrated by Hoda Hadadi) published by @harpercollins.bsky.social (Clarion Books)

Head over to my IG: @marziehabbas_author to see her real-time reaction to the book!

Spot the moon!
Also, mornings like this: me, my chai, and the stillness of everything are my fav kind of mornings 🫶

My current and first “Daily Log” book. Lots to do but small steps, taken regularly, are making me feel like although it will be slow, there is some progress everyday and I’m grateful for it!

I have an orange banner! My first ever!! Wohooooo

Sometime you just need to surround yourself with things that make you happy and wait (and pray) for the storm to pass… all the while figuring out your role and reminding yourself about why you do what you do

Reading @austinkleon.bsky.social Steal Like an Artist and I’m loving the idea of a logbook. I can’t believe how good it makes me feel to see how much I’ve done compared to keeping a To Do list and having thing unticked at the end of the day
