My name is Rukhsana Khan (pronounced ruk-SA-na kon you can hear me say it at this link) and I'm a children's author and storyteller. I visit around eighty schools a year, all over Canada and the U.S., and meet thousands of students from kindergarten to high school.

People say I have a down-to-earth style of presentation.

My presentations go from light-hearted fun for primary children to serious issues like teen suicide, loss and abandonment and child refugees. But even my more serious presentations are laced with humour and are age appropriate.

Similarly, my books run the range from Silly Chickens and Big Red Lollipops to a motherless girl abandoned in a marketplace in Kabul (Wanting Mor). My stories have all depended on what demanded to be written at the time I was writing them.

You can get a taste of my presentation style from the youtube clips in the Videos Section.

I am available for Skype visits. Please email me: rukhsana @ rukhsanakhan.com for more information and rates.

You can check out my blog for my thoughts on life, writing, and sometimes—when I dare—a bit of politics.

You can read the testimonials to find out what others have said about me.

And you can see some of the places my work has taken me in my photo gallery.

When I was a kid growing up in the small town of Dundas, Ontario, I always dreamed of being an author. I feel blessed to live in a country where my dreams could come true. And now, at a time when there is so much conflict in the world, I hope my stories help create some cross-cultural understanding.
