Sarah Musa grew up in rural New Mexico. Growing up as a Muslim in the United States was challenging. She struggled with feeling that she wasn’t good enough or that she didn’t belong. Her safe-haven was her family and often a good book. Knowing that many Muslim children struggle as she did it inspired her to write for them. She hopes that her writing assures them that they are normal.
Sarah Musa currently lives in Amman, Jordan. Her mixed ancestry, half Palestinian and half Hispanic, has led to an interesting mix of stories, and her six children are often her first readers.
