Her beginning

edit

The author's daughter played a major role in her getting into the children's stories. Reem was looking for a gift that her daughter deserves, and there is nothing better than giving her a kids stories that are useful enough, Under virtue of intermittent living in London of course she does not want the English language, because it's an easy language to acquire and learn.

Reem searched for compelling Arabic stories and did not find anything to fulfill her curiosity in substance, form, and attractive images, so she took it upon herself to accomplish the goal. Reem sat and thought then she inspired her national story "Wid and Walid," from the longing for the homeland. This was the first story she gave as a gift to her daughter, and soon this story turned into a series of stories.

This story is about two children on the National Day roaming the seven Emirates and realizing many beautiful and expressive facts. This series issued in collaboration with the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation. Her presence in Britain for study prompted her to accomplish more meaningful work for her daughter and other youngsters, especially as she lives in a state of permanent nostalgia for her homeland, which motivates her towards expression from the depths of her feeling.[1]
