Ruya Publishing

Ruya Publishing was co-founded by myself and Hannah Najar with the ambitious aim of creating stories that fill our world with love, connectedness and kindness.


Ruya Publishing exists because words matter. The language we use and the stories we tell shape our world. Stories influence how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we imagine what is possible. 

We created Ruya Publishing to help people express love through writing. This includes parents expressing love to their children, partners expressing romantic love, and communities expressing care, solidarity and belonging. We see writing as a bridge between inner experience and shared humanity. Words are a way of making love visible, tangible and enduring.


A central focus of Ruya Publishing is books about unconditional love for children. 

These include: 

Kookaburra Kindness:
Naba Alfayadh

I love you when you rain:
Naba Alfayad

I love you more, no matter what:
Mohannad Dahalan


Ruya Publishing is also guided by the belief that storytelling can restore connection in a fragmented world. After the Bondi tragedy, our team published a book of love and solidarity with the Jewish community. You can see the book, Kookaburra Kindness, here. 

Through books, writing and storytelling, Ruya seeks to contribute to a world where love is felt and where it shapes the world we share.
