The Author
Meet Alexandra Chibouni
Hi, Iโm Alex, the author of the Zoob the Time Traveller Series. One night I sat, and I thought โ call it fate, or call it a helping hand from my angel of a Mum; the words โZoob had a new missionโ jumped into my mind and a new journey with no limits or boundaries began.
Iโve read enough books to my children to know
Rhyming text helps them to follow the flow
The Zoob books are a mix of rhyme and history
Helped along with adventure and a sprinkle of mystery
One is available with another on the way
But donโt fear, I still have so much to say
I am planning more stories about other ancient places
Hoping to put smiles on all childrenโs faces!ย
