Amal Al-Sibai

Amal Al-Sibai is a mother, teacher, writer, bicyclist, and baker. Like Lara, she loves the smell of books and freshly baked cinnamon rolls. Her favorite places are the outdoors, library, and masjid.

She has a bachelor’s degree in holistic nutrition, a diploma in children’s literature, and a certificate (ijazah) for teaching the Holy Quran. She grew up between the United States and Saudi Arabia, soaking up the beauty of both languages—Arabic and English.

Amal is currently an English teacher, and she hosts youth programs, halaqahs, Quran classes, and reading clubs! Her passion is sharing inspirational stories that will spark your mind and heart! Like Lara, Amal believes in the power of words!
