Hadeel is a mother, wife, teacher, and writer with a deep passion for early childhood education. She holds a degree in Early Childhood Education and is currently working as an educator. Hadeel has always had a love for books, a passion nurtured by her father, who would often surprise her with boxes full of books during her childhood. To this day, reading remains an essential part of her life, and she nowshares this love of literature with her own child. For Hadeel, books have always been more than just stories-theyʼve been an escape from reality and a way to explore new worlds, spark imagination, and foster empathy. Whether sheʼs reading aloud to her students or sharing stories with her family, Hadeel is dedicated to instilling a love of reading in others.
