About the author
Noor H.dee: Noor H. Dee (Hadi) is an Indonesian children's author and editor born in 1982. He works as a children's book editor at Noura Books Publishing, an imprint of PT Mizan Publika, one of the largest book publishing groups in Indonesia. He has authored more than twenty children's titles in Indonesian, with his book 25 Nabi & Rasul (25 Prophets and Apostles) ranking as a bestseller in Indonesia. Four of his books have been translated into English by Kube Publishing (The Islamic Foundation) in London, among them the I Say board book series: I Say Bismillah, I Say Alhamdulillah, I Say As-Salamu Alaykum, and I Say MashAllah. Each book in the series follows young siblings Nabil and Noura as they learn to use a foundational Arabic Islamic expression in its natural everyday context, with illustrations by Iput. In 2019, Noor H. Dee was invited to the Asian Publisher Fellowship Program in Seoul, South Korea, where he spoke on the subject of children's books and future reading in the digital age. His work also includes self-published Indonesian titles and collaboration with international literary organizations.
