Leila Boukarim

Leila Boukarim was born in Lebanon, grew up in several countries, and now resides in Berlin. She has published a number of children’s books internationally. Leila’s stories are often influenced by her Middle Eastern upbringing, her observations as a citizen of the world, and the playfulness that arises from raising two young boys. In addition to writing and editing, Leila also spends her time reading, (proudly) hoarding books, embroidering, cooking, and trying to impress her cat. You can visit her at www.leilaboukarim.com.
