Adventures Through Words

About the author, Maryam Kydd.

Maryam was born in San Francisco, California. At a young age her family moved to South America. For a large part of her childhood, she lived without any television, or friends. She spent most of her playtime being creative in an imaginary world, with imaginary friends, and her pet animals getting lost in the rainforest. At times there was no electricity, running water or any of the convenience that we have so freely at our disposal today. This allowed for thinking outside the box and using everything available as a source of entertainment. Her other great joy was escaping into the world of books.

After moving back to the United States and later becoming a mother, she was introduced to a whole new world of parenting and being around other children. While doing so she noticed how limited children's imaginations have become. With all our technology, and televisions there is truly little left for the imagination, and the magical worlds that existed when she was a child.

Maryam writes books for children, and their parents that are interested in a different possibility. Her hopes are to inspire, inform and create strong healthy foundations for children through stories that educate them for life. And to spark wonder, imagination, and the endless possibilities that exist through a child's own imagination.

She hopes that her books will reach children all over the world and inspire them to find their own Joyful experiences in nature, and to create their own unique magical world of wonder in everything around them. While enjoying the adventures that are possible through words. Maryam believes what we put in our mouths, ears, and our eyes, affect our lives and the future we can create. Her intention is to create books that have a positive message and are inspiring and empowering to all that read them.

Maryam has been writing poetry since age 14. Her love for books has always been a big part of her life. She self-published her first Teaching Memoir in, 2010, and has since been writing children's books.

Maryam runs her own business as a wellness practitioner and life coach, when she is not writing or spending time in nature. .

In her own words.

My Hobbies are reading books, crocheting, and baking in the winter. In the spring and summer, I love to spend my days in nature, hiking, camping, or just playing with my child at the park. I enjoy dancing, especially creative dance like 5Rhymes, and Ecstatic.
