Hi there! My name is Fatima Waheed.
I am a writer and early childhood educator.
I write children’s books, work closely with educators, families, and entrepreneurs providing various services in early childhood education. Learn more about my services.
My picture book “Market of Memories” is coming soon!
I want Pakistanis like me to have representation in children’s books across the world.
In my picture book Market of Memories, Mina craves a taste of Pakistani street food as she eagerly whizzes through an Eid market. While chasing chaat and samosay, she is suddenly whisked away to her home city back in Karachi…

BIO
In 2012, I created my first children's book as part of my thesis, unaware of the journey it would take me on to represent Pakistanis like myself. Over the past decade, I have gained extensive experience in early childhood education, including teaching, training, administration, and book creation. My educational path led me from high school in Romania to college in Pakistan, graduate school in Boston, and eventually to writing children's books in New Orleans. Today, I am a consultant and advocate for authentic and inclusive cultural studies in early childhood education. I am excited to offer my services to the public, particularly looking forward to collaborating with like-minded desis. Kahan ho yaar!
