The author is fully able to convey the feelings and aspirations of fellow Afghans with candor and style, being an Afghan herself. Her family migrated from Afghanistan in the nineteenth century.

She has written books for children that have been published in Pakistan and, in some institutions, has formed part of the curriculum of certain schools there.

Positive reviews of her books can be seen in the literary section of the English newspaper Dawn, which currently has the widest readership and circulation within Pakistan.

She has two sons and two daughters. She and her husband spend their time between Lahore Pakistan, London UK, and New York, USA.

AUTHOR: All set to make her mark

Reviewed by Rizwana Naqvi

Judging by its cover, Afzal ka Khawab seemed like an attractive children’s book. The book deals with fantasies and dreams — as its name suggests but as one flips through its pages, one is pleasantly taken aback as the book not only deals with fantasies but also with some stark realities of life. Four other books in the series followed in quick succession. The series’ author, Binte-Sameera, has become a big name in the world of literature in general and children’s literature in particular.
