About the author

During her late teens, she moved to the United States, where she lived for eight years while acquiring her education. The author then relocated to Saudi Arabia, where she has joyfully lived until the present day. All these different experiences gave Larissa a window into the beauty and trials of living in different cultures. Through her writing, she aims to give children globally a sense of belonging as mixed-ethnic and multicultural individuals.
