Amirah Kassem – författare

The first in a delicious new middle-grade series by Flour Shop founder Amirah Kassem, an authority on the sweeter side of life! After receiving a magical cookbook and baking her special birthday cake, 10-year-old—wait, make that almost 11-year-old—Amirah is transported to the Magical Land of Birthdays, where she meets three of her birthday buddies from different corners of the world—kids who share her exact birthday and are also about to turn 11. In the Magical Land of Birthdays, a place filled with wonder and whimsy (and plenty of cake!), you can celebrate your birthday every moment of every day. As they explore the land, Amirah and her new friends learn about each other and the special bond they share, and discover exciting and wonderful birthday traditions from around the world.

In celebrity baker and bestselling author Amirah Kassem’s Mystery of the Birthday Basher, the thrilling sequel to The Magical Land of Birthdays, Amirah and her B-Buds journey back to the birthday realm to save it from impending destruction. It’s been almost six months since Amirah visited the Magical Land of Birthdays, which means it’s almost time for her half-birthday! As that special day approaches, she realizes something is not right in the birthday universe. Party invitations are going missing, people don’t feel like celebrating, and stores are sold out of birthday cake ingredients. When Amirah notices that the pages of The Power of Sprinkle are fading away before her eyes, she knows something is terribly wrong. That’s when she and her B-Buds new and old travel back to the Magical Land of Birthdays, where they discover that someone is determined to rid the world of birthday magic—by destroying the Magical Land of Birthdays! Can Amirah and her B-Buds restore the magic before it’s too late?
