I currently have the great fortune of writing picture books and young adult novels. Below are my announced book deals!

BABA PALOOZA (Picture Book –> Released on April 7th, 2026)

In my debut book starring a Pakistani American Muslim family, a Hard of Hearing (HoH) and taxi-driving father sometimes feels ashamed of his yellow cab, but all his daughter sees in it is wonder. When Baba has to miss her school’s dance because of his long hours, she decides to throw her own party to celebrate him.

⭐️ “In a touching picture book, Ghani and Alam craft an exuberant ode to a working father’s love.” — Publisher’s Weekly, Starred Review
