Pinksy

Mona is a debuting author and illustrator whose lifelong dream of creating children's picture books has come to life with her very first book "Pinksy"! She lives right next to a whispering forest; its lush canopy is a constant backdrop. Her inspiration comes from rustling leaves, chirping birds, numerous flowers, and real-life stories. This book was a collaborative effort with her sister, who is a budding artist. Her sister lives with Neurofibromatosis (NF), a genetic disorder that results in tumors developing on nerve pathways across the body. The sisters are planning children's books to inspire creativity, imagination, and learning. Mona has spent many years with global and nonprofit organizations, focusing much of her work on children's causes. She spent years writing factual accounts of children's struggles, courage, rights, and hopeful spirits. Publishing children's books remained a cherished dream, and this first book marks the beginning of that journey. Written and illustrated from scratch with the support of her sister, the project is a shared beginning for both of them. Mona thanks the authors, illustrators, and educators for their online lessons, which helped her learn and grow for this project. She wants to give heartfelt thanks to every reader who bought her books. Mona dedicates all her artistic output lovingly to her family.
