I think one of the teachers then said "it's all downhill from here, she has maths after this!" 😂

I had such a gorgeous time with EY and KS1, thank you for having me.

Last week EY and KS1 had a visit from @MeAndVan to talk to us about her new book The Bicycle - one girl said “This is the best time of my life” 😍
Author visits make such an impact!

Thank you Mevan, @maxminervas and @HarperCollinsCh 📚🚲

This is my favorite page in The Bicycle - how often do you get to see a celebration of Kurdish culture in a kids book? I certainly didn't growing up. We are a peak picnic-ing culture #sayranalldayeveryday

Friends! I can't contain my excitement any longer. I've published a children's book about my refugee experience, and it's officially live as of today, #WorldRefugeeDay!

It's the story of how a small act of kindness changed a young refugee's life amzn.eu/d/067TOm8b🧵

See you all at the pub for a retro of the past 15 years?
