ⓘ About Laila Ibrahim

After she got a Master’s Degree in Human Development, she realized that she wanted to do more hands on work with kids, and opened up a preschool of her own: Woolsey Children’s School, where she was director and founder. She had first hand experience of loving kids that were not her own while working there. Her experiences and education as a parent and an educator provide her with ample for her writing, particularly her study of Attachment and multiculturalism. There are scenes in “Yellow Crocus” that were greatly influenced by the interactions with the kids she had from Woolsey. Being a birth doula, she had the privilege of witnessing the joy and intensity of childbirth, which is also reflected in her writing.
