Integrative counsellor and author Kadija Taha is preparing to launch a new collection of children’s books designed around the theme of ‘Helping young minds thrive.’
LONDON, UK. January 20th 2026 – Expanding her creative work in children’s literature, Kadija is introducing a growing body of stories that combine imaginative narratives with messages around early education, emotional balance and positive thinking.
Kadija has spoken openly about how her passion for writing began at a young age, shaped by a lifelong love of classic children’s tales and traditional fairytales.
During her pregnancy, she experienced a memorable moment at home when an unusually large number of birds and squirrels gathered in her garden, creating a scene that stayed with her long after.
“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.
That experience later became the foundation for her first children’s book and influenced the direction and tone of her future storytelling.
Drawing on her professional expertise as an integrative counsellor, Kadija weaves emotional awareness and behavioural guidance into her stories.
Her books aim to support children in developing positive habits, constructive thinking patterns and a healthy mindset, while also encouraging learning in an accessible and engaging way.
“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.
