Books by Dana

Dana is best known for her children’s series “Yousuf’s Everyday Adventures” which includes two titles: “Dreamland with mommy” and “Beautifully Different”. She is also working on a few projects including a Ya novel & a new Picture book, so keep an eye out for that!

"Beautifully Different offers children a fun-filled and enlightening fable wherein Yousuf learns why being yourself is special and perfect. He sees how if different people join together, they become strong enough to stand up to the bullies, and, in their unity, become even more special. Beautifully Different: Yousuf's Everyday Adventures is most highly recommended." - Readers Favorite

"The illustrations are vibrant and delicious, the adventure is wild and Willy-Wonka-esque. Dreamland With Mommy provides children with a new way of looking creatively at the world, while also providing adult readers with the inspiration to keep the tradition of storytelling alive." - Dawud Wharnsby
