Fatima Sharafeddine

Fatima Sharafeddine (Arabic: فاطمة شرف الدين; born 1966) is a Lebanese writer, editor, and translator of children's and young adults' books.

More than 120 books of Sharafeddine were published all over the world, and many of them were translated into more than 15 languages including English, Dutch, and Spanish.

[3] In 1989, Sharafeddine joined the Lebanese American University to study Early childhood education.

[1] In her books, Sharafeddine avoids the direct method of serving the child the moral lesson on a silver platter; instead, she helps the child comprehend the lesson on their own by seeking to nurture their imagination and emotions.

As a woman who had to emigrate from her home country to escape the civil war, Sharafeddine wanted to raise awareness of what was happening in Lebanon, precisely, the state of war between Lebanon and Israel.
