WRITER OF CLOUD TALES

About Me

Hurain Iza Khan

Hello everyone!

I’m a writer from a small suburb in Chicago, Illinois. I am someone who genuinely enjoys the company of my little niece and nephew! I feel I have learned more from their little smiles and cute mistakes, than they have learned from me. I would love for them and other children to grow up not only reading my stories but remembering them, for the lessons and values I have placed within them.

Books leave an imprint 🐾 on your heart forever. I can still vividly remember some of my favorite childhood stories. Such as, The Rainbow Fish (Marcus Pfister) and No, David! (David Shannon). Re-reading them was a joy that brought back a heart-warming sense of nostalgia.

I wish to revive those feelings, through my books, in the future generations to come.

Our Mission

Hello, I would like you to know a little bit about why I’ve started this project. I wanted to give my niece, nephew and all the little children something memorable and sweet to remember, after they’ve grown.

My sister, Mariam Khan has a huge role to play in helping me accomplish this project. I wouldn’t have done it without her constant feedback. Not to mention my brother, Khuram Khan’s creative ideas and fun to play video-games.

Although this wasn’t an easy or quick road for us, I do intend to continue writing plenty more for my readers, in time. I’d like all my readers to know that I have put a lot of thought into these books. I kept in mind that they should be educational and fun-to-read for all ages.

Each book was pre-approved by my biggest support and the love of my life, my mom. These are not only books for children, but for adults as well! I hope for my readers to take valuable life lessons from each story that I’ve written whole-heartedly.

I hope you all enjoy reading these books during lunch breaks, at libraries, at school and simply throughout the day. They’re short stories with a bigger purpose. Which can hopefully help to answer some questions, going on in our little ones minds.

With love,
Hurain Iza Khan
The Cloud Tales family together
