Financial literacy, told as
bedtime stories.

“ I grew up in a lower middle class family, the eldest and only son, with three amazing sisters and a weight of responsibility on my shoulders before I was old enough to understand what that meant.

I worked hard. I made good money, for myself, and for my family. And then I lost most of it to bad money habits nobody had ever warned me about.

That was the moment it hit me: earning more was never the real fix. The real problem was my relationship with money itself, not understanding how it worked, how the financial system worked, or how an ordinary person is supposed to manage it wisely enough to actually build a future, not just survive month to month.

Paisay Kaisay is my answer to that gap. Two years in the making. Hand drawn illustrations, stories written from my own heart, for the version of me who needed this at five years old and never got it.

If these books do one thing, I want it to be this: that our kids don’t have to learn money the same hard way we did. In sha Allah.
