Farhana Islam

  • 5 stars across 7 books
Farhana Islam is a Primary School Teacher in the North East of England with a love for children’s literature. Being the only minority face her pupils see inspired her to start writing. In particular, mainstream stories with diverse characters and enabling the reader to be both windows and mirrors. A window exposing young readers to a world they may not be necessarily familiar with but still within their reach. And a mirror for those to find themselves, their families, their culture and their communities reflected, valued and normalised in. Farhana was shortlisted for Faber Children’s FAB Prize 2020 for unrepresented authors.
