Author Biography

Tamara M. Haque is a Bangladeshi-Australian who spent her childhood in Saudi Arabia, then Malaysia, and finally settled in sunny Sydney, Australia. Her favorite authors as a child were Roald Dahl, Enid Blyton and Charles Dickens. These authors gave her many heroes to look up to, Matilda being her favorite. She is a strategist by day and a children’s author by night. Tamara loved her multicultural upbringing but didn’t always find it easy to embrace her Muslim identity. Reading about Islam s rich history and its great heroes surely helped. Tamara started the Mighty Muslim Heroes series to inspire children and adults alike to be proud of their Muslim identity and history. When Tamara isn’t writing, she is likely working in her public sector day job, reading, walking, spending time with her husband and friends, discovering new places, new food, new cultures, or talking to her plants. Tamara is currently working on a couple of picture books exploring culture and diversity.
