About me
Maria Marianayagam is an award-winning, Tamil Sri Lankan-Canadian engineer turned children’s book author, and a Calgary Top 40 under 40. She fell in love with children’s books (again!) after becoming an Amma (mom). She is the author of over ten books for young readers, including board books, picture books, and middle grade, which have garnered starred reviews, award nominations, and major media coverage. When Maria is not writing, she can be found traveling the world, devouring books, and spending time with her wonderful family. She resides in Alberta, Canada, with her husband and three children.
