Description
“So here we are foreign enough to be foreign at home, home enough to be home in the foreign. I have come to see when I am at home in my heart, I am always enough for everywhere.”
Naaz Khan is an educator, writer, and life long learner with a background in refugee education, curriculum development, and interfaith dialogue. Naaz’s debut children’s book moved us when we first discovered it, so were excited to have the opportunity to have a chat with her on the pod. Through beautiful illustrations and entertaining rhymes, you’ll find yourself falling in love with the journey of others in a far off land depicted in Room for Everyone Naaz currently lives in Washington DC. but has lived all over the world — including Jubail, Cairo, Nairobi, Bangalore, Berkeley, San Diego, and New York. Naaz works as an education coordinator at An Open Book Foundation, a literacy organization that connects young people in the DC area with authors, illustrators and books. Naaz is also part of Reading Is Fundamental (RIF), the nation's leading champion for children's literacy — which recently launched it’s second annual Rally to Read 100 — which runs thru the end of March — designed to motivate children to read, starting with a pledge to read 100 books.
