Writing that cultivates empathy, dignity, and hope.
Norashikin Latiff writes with tenderness and moral clarity, creating stories and reflective books that help children and families engage the world with compassion, courage, and meaning.
Rooted in learning, service, and compassion.
Raised by parents who were teachers, Norashikin was shaped by a home where learning, moral imagination, and empathy were treated as essential parts of life. That foundation continues to define her voice as a writer.
After studying English at Temple University, she worked in community and non-profit spaces, where language was never merely decorative. It became a way to serve, connect, and help others make sense of the world.
Her time in Afghanistan, supporting grassroots initiatives such as community soup kitchens, left a deep and lasting impression. Witnessing the resilience of children in fragile settings strengthened her belief that stories must not desensitize the young to injustice. They should instead cultivate tenderness, dignity, and moral courage.
Through books, journals, and visual storytelling, Norashikin seeks to create work that is gentle in tone but serious in purpose, especially for children and families who want stories that enlarge the heart.
