Sirah would say, "I want to read books for a living." After a few chapters as a teacher and photographer, Sirah turned a page in life and is now quite comfortable helping authors bring dreams to life (and reading in every spare minute). Sirah loves many kinds of books and, of course, wouldn't be happy without a pile of picture books from the library every Friday afternoon. Sirah loves the way books can help create empathy, a little escape from the hard things, and moments of connection with diverse personalities.
