about SASHA SAIDMAN…
Sasha is a cherished voice in children's literature, weaving tales of wonder and wisdom from her home in the heart of the Washington, D.C. area. Alongside her devoted husband and their two delightful children, Sasha crafts stories that celebrate the diverse tapestry of families, drawing from her own unique journey through life.
Sasha books have been featured on numerous television programs, including Fox 5, Good Day Chicago, Houston Happens, Great Day Washington , Good Day DC, ARC Seattle, and Good Morning Texas. She has been on podcasts like Heavy Bored, Chelsea's Story Nook, and Book Huddle, reaching audiences nationwide.
Adopted into a loving family through an open adoption, Sasha's early experiences have imbued her with a deep appreciation for the myriad ways families come together, a theme that radiates through her enchanting narratives. Despite facing the challenges of dyslexia, which made the written word a formidable puzzle in her youth, Sasha's indomitable spirit saw her transcend these early obstacles. Her journey from a high school dropout to a GED achiever stands as a testament to her resilience and determination, qualities that have guided her path to becoming a beloved children's author.
Sasha's work is more than just storytelling; it's an invitation to embrace life's adventures and to find joy in every moment. Her personal mantra, to change what doesn't bring joy, infuses her writing with an infectious optimism that encourages young readers to seek happiness and fulfillment in their pursuits.
