Grateful I Am

Grateful I am, Though the sun did not shine today. It was gloomy, cold and grey. Grateful I am, For the drop of rain That washed and sprayed That dry and wrinkled petal of the flower.

The Author

Words are how I hold the world together.

I'm Nisreen — a Palestinian mother, and a writer of stories for children and poems for grown-ups.

My children's stories are written for little hearts that deserve to see themselves in the pages of a book. My poems are for quieter moments — shaped by memory, longing, and belonging. They are meant to be read slowly, more than once.

I share my work on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook — and this website is where all of it lives together.
