The Perks Of Being A Book Lover Podcast
Education:Language Learning
Every season one of our favorite episodes is when we get to chat with a book lover who grew up in a country other than the United States. We’ve had guests from Somalia, Ireland and Germany.
Today we have Maram Taibah; a fantasy author and screenwriter. We were anxious to talk to her about two things really. She is a bookover who grew up in Saudi Arabia. She now resides in Ontario Canada. She has published two books, the most recent being Weathernose, a steampunk fantasy about the complicated relationship between a middle-aged weatherman and a brilliant 10 year old girl on a fantastical tropical island, that will appeal to both young readers and adults alike. We talk to her about her reading life growing up in the Middle East and about her writing life now.
