Zaeem

Zaeem's mum taught him to read, with the help of Wolsey Hall Oxford, in just one week at age 4 — and he's been hooked ever since. That early love of books grew into a bigger dream: to become an author, and to use stories to make a real, meaningful difference in people's lives.

Some of his books carry a lesson — The Fox and the Sheep explores honesty and greed, and Smoking Should Be Banned for Everyone lays out real health facts kids deserve to know. Others are just for fun, like the funny adventures and made-up worlds in his fiction. Whatever the story, Zaeem writes to make readers think, laugh, or both.

None of it comes easy. Every title has gone through pages of scratched-out drafts and rewrites before becoming a finished copy. But Zaeem keeps going, because he believes that through effective communication, we can change the world — and he intends to do exactly that, one book at a time.
