Sana is a Scottish Muslim writer passionate about representation in children’s literature. She writes so that young Muslim readers can see themselves reflected in the stories they read.
She is the author of Join Us for Ramadan, a bestselling and first-of-its-kind sensory board book that invites children to explore the joys of Ramadan through touch and feel. Loved by both Muslim and non-Muslim families, the book has become a valuable resource for teaching children about this important month in the Islamic calendar.
Sana was named a 2025 PB [Picture Book] Rising Stars Mentorship winner. She is currently working on several new picture books, as well as her debut adult novel.
She also coordinates the Islamic Book Fair of Scotland, an annual event that brings acclaimed Muslim children’s authors from around the world to Scottish audiences. Her work champions diverse voices and fosters community through literature.
