Deema HammeedDeema has a love for animals, nature, literature and to travel and experience new horizons, no matter if it is new places, cultures, or worlds. When she can't pack her suitcase and travel, books are her gateway to adventure. Deema's love of literatur led her to study Arabic literature at the University of Damascus in Syria, and then to an exciting career as a language examiner. Then, her strong passion to give children tools to explore our amazing world led her to educational studies and inspired her to start her own pre-school in Damascus. Her next step was to the United Nations, where Deema taught and then became a program leader on United Nation's TV channel. Language and culture are at the heart of everything Deema does. As her journey continued to Sweden, she has worked as an study supervisor, native language teacher, and Swedish and modern language teacher. To be able to translate and share stories with children has become one of her most enjoyable experiences. Deema is so glad to be part of the 'ittle Bear team, where there is a chance to learn new cultures and encounter exciting stories. Read More Read Less
