Tanya PikariTanya Pikari is a high school English teacher from New Zealand. She has lived in the United Arab Emirates for 11 years with her husband and, more recently, her three young children. Tanya was inspired to write her first children's book, 'Khamis the Cmel', after telling bed-time stories to her sons about her adventures travelling the world.
