Fauzya Alarakhiya is an Ismaili mother of triplets and a high school English and creative writing teacher. Faith and family are of utmost importance to Fauzya, who spends her spare time with friends and family, going for walks outdoors and bringing loved ones together through shared recipes and traditional foods. Fauzya lives with her husband and their teenagers, Soori, Kira, and Jacob. They live in Toronto, Canada with their dog, Maple River (who is featured in one of the illustrations in the book). Readers can connect with Fauzya on Instagram @raisingwords. Nanima and Nanabapa's Kitchen is her first book. A portion of all book sales will be donated to the Aga Khan Foundation.
