Author and integrative counsellor Kadija Taha is set to release a new collection of children’s books designed to support ‘Helping young minds thrive.’
LONDON, UK. January 20th 2026 – As she continues to grow her presence in children’s literature, Kadija is introducing stories that use creativity and imagination to encourage emotional awareness, positive thinking and early educational development.
Her interest in writing began at a young age, inspired by a love of fairytales and the timeless children’s books she grew up reading.
That creative journey took on new meaning during her pregnancy, when an unusually large gathering of birds and squirrels appeared in her garden, creating a moment she found both striking and memorable.
“The number of birds and squirrels was about four times the usual amount. It felt as though there was a celebration taking place in my back garden. It was such a pleasant and captivating sight, one that made you want to keep watching.” Said Kadija.
The experience later formed the foundation of her first children’s story and continues to influence her wider writing approach.
Kadija’s background as an integrative counsellor plays an important role in shaping the themes explored across her books.
Her stories are written to gently guide behaviour, encourage healthy thought patterns, and support both emotional growth and academic learning, while remaining engaging for families to read together.
“My stories help guide children’s behaviour, encourage early positive mindsets, develop healthy thought patterns, and support academic learning through a unique perspective of the world around them. Not only are my stories written for children, but they are also enjoyable for parents to read with them.” She added.
Her latest published title, The Advanced Alphabetical Book for Children, is available now in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle formats. A book trailer can be viewed here.
The book uses bright illustrations and engaging language to introduce the alphabet in a way that supports early literacy development.
In addition to her currently available work, several new children’s titles are scheduled for future release.
These include The Way to the Moon, The Twelve Rooms in the Moon, The Window at the Bottom of the Ocean, and Breakfast in the Garden, which is due to be republished.
The books are published by UK-based Maple Publishers, a company known for supporting imaginative and engaging literary works.
Further details regarding publication dates and availability for upcoming titles will be announced later this year.
