Laila Ibrahim’s expertise in multicultural developmental psychology provided ample material for the story of Mattie and Lisbeth. Laila was the founder and director of Woolsey Children’s School where she had first hand experiences loving children that were not her own. As a birth doula she is privileged to witness the intensity and joy of childbirth. She works as the Director of Children and Family Ministries at the First Unitarian Church in Oakland. She lives in a co-housing community in Berkeley, California, with her wife, Rinda, their children, Kalin and Maya, and their dogs, Bella and Lucie. Yellow Crocus is her first novel.
