Based in
Dubai, UAE

What is she known for?

Leading Cuddle Family, the Dubai children’s publisher, and representing it in community education programmes. Sharjah24 quotes her as CEO and Creative Director at the Earth Day 2026 workshop in Sharjah Sustainable City [1] and at the World Children’s Day 2025 workshop with Shurooq [2] (the November report spells her surname “AlAbbychi”).

The same World Children’s Day workshop was also reported by The Gulf Pulse [3], MedEdge MEA [4], and Mother Baby & Child [5]. The Earth Day workshop is also covered on Sharjah24 [6].

What is her approach?

In her words to Sharjah24, children need to be invited into a relationship with the Earth rather than told to love it [1], and creativity is a child’s first toolkit [2]. That thinking shapes the one-idea-per-book format of the books and the make-first design of the workshops.

What has she written?

Her articles on cuddlefamily.com cover reading to a baby before birth, early counting through story, and the Cuddle Family method; see the list below.
