Dear Whippples Fans,
I want to take a moment to update you on my writing projects. Although I have paused on posting Whippples short stories (promise I’ve been making lists – lots more to come!), I have been focusing all my energy on a children’s book – written by my son and I.
Little Birdie Project: Our vision began as multiple bedtime stories. One day my son (Ayaan, now 7) insisted he wanted to read our stories at his library – even after I told him they’re just in our heads. So we decided to bring our visions to life and officially kicked off our Little Birdie Project.
We wrote down all our stories, then picked our favorite one: Little Birdies Lose their Colors. We had such a fun time creating the artwork together. Now everything is with graphic and Web designers, and we plan to launch print and digital versions of our book this fall.
Foreword: Little Birdies Lose their Colors is a story that encourages self-identity, diversity, individuality and eating healthy. These topics can be difficult to approach and discuss. By joining the little birdies on their journey, everyone can talk about important issues openly and honestly. This children’s book simplifies complicated topics and brings everyone back to the basics of peacefully embracing and appreciating each other.
Dedicated to:
Ayaan, Azeem and our Angel: Nothing is impossible. Reach for the stars. Make your dreams happen. Always.
All the children in the world: May we all live in a world that’s accepting of everyone’s identities, colors, ethnicity, cultures, religions and beliefs in unity and in peace—and may we all rise above any barriers together.
Thank you for your continued readership, engagement and interest. We are so excited to be on this journey with you!
We hope the story and book will be as incredibly educational, inspiring and rewarding for you as the creative publishing process has been for us.
Stay tuned for more updates, coming soon!
Best,
Hafsa
