People who write stories were born with them in their DNA. Some imagine it at a later time in life and some grow up knowing little else but what their imagination is creating. I was one who from childhood lived with characters other people couldn’t see because they resided in my mind. This is perhaps the reason I could not abandon Aftab, Rija, Sharjeel and many others once I began working on the concepts in Quran. My belief in these characters, knowing them as best friends meant I had to share them with the world. In the same way ‘Dear Recipes’ is the story of food and beloved people associated to them. ‘Fables of Friendship’ is very special because I helped my students to write them. This children’s book is shared here for the joy it will surely bring to other kids.
