In a proud moment, she published her 3-year-old daughter's first book, Princess Yoyo's Rebus Treasury, on Amazon—a dream come true for her little princess. Nabeelah is the first mother-author to have not only been inspired by but who also provided the vessel and motivation of her own young childs love of writing. This passion lead young Yumna to write her own story. These dynamic writers do so with other young learners at the core of their audience.

Written entirely by three-year-old Yumna Mohammad Feroz and published by Nabeelah Basheer, this rebus story uses pictures or drawings to replace words, where images can represent words, actions, or characters. In rebus books, complex words are paired with corresponding images, allowing children to decode them and focus on sight words. This method helps children grasp specific phonemes and enhances their decoding skills. Princess Yoyo’s Rebus Treasury presents three colorful short stories where readers say the word in place of the picture, making it a fun way for young readers to form sentences and read independently. Through her stories, the young author emphasizes the importance of sharing, giving, and exploring the world.

This book is a perfect tool for early engagement and makes a thoughtful gift for any new parent and their baby!
We often describe something as "golden" when it’s exceptional or the best of its kind, and this applies to how we view polite and respectful speech. Speaking softly and politely is a valued quality, especially in young children, as it brings social acceptance, which is important for both a child’s psychological development and parental reassurance. Polite speech includes "magic words" or "golden words," such as "Thank you," "Please," and "Excuse me," which are essential for children to learn. These words express respect and love, making conversations more pleasant and fostering positive interactions. In The Magic of Golden Words, young Rayyan discovers how using these simple yet powerful words can brighten everyone’s day.
Children often observe and learn from social helpers in their community, drawing inspiration from their work and aspiring to follow in their footsteps. This book encourages children to dream about what they could become one day, offering motivation and building their confidence to pursue their goals. It introduces them to various occupations, highlighting their roles and importance in society. This book would be a valuable addition to any school library, helping children explore different career paths and empowering them to believe in their potential.
The STOP series addresses various social issues and evils surrounding us, aiming to educate young minds about harsh realities and how to deal with them.

This series of short stories provides an excellent way to initiate open discussions with children on these important topics.
STOP BAD TOUCH focuses on Ellie’s unsettling experience during a play date, teaching children how to identify and respond to unsafe or uncomfortable touches. It explains the difference between good and bad touch, empowering children with the knowledge they need to protect themselves. This story is a valuable addition to any library and a thoughtful gift for young readers.
