The Story

Khadijah goes to School was my first project. I googled “How do you write a book in Canada.” 9 months later, I had published the book and had gone on a 3-city tour.

Khadijah goes to School is a book about Giving. It’s a book for children, AND even adults. The theme of Giving is explored through the core message: Helping Yourself and Helping Other People™.

“Innovative, colourful, and groundbreaking.

Supporting Themes

Khadijah hits the

Streets of Toronto!

It’s one thing to go shopping in downtown Toronto. But releasing a book there? That’s another story!

The cover of Khadijah goes to School  was chalked on the sidewalks of the most famous intersection in probably all of Canada, Yonge and Dundas. It was an awesome experience. Watch the video below
