Books by Zehra Hicks
I've written and illustrated nine books and I've illustrated five with different authors. I'm currently working on my 15th book. Most of my books are character-based about animals, dinosaurs, monsters, and humans and their emotions. I like to make fun books, but I like to talk about different emotions too, and to help children navigate through them.
