Maisha Oso is the author of Buster the Bully and other forthcoming picture books. She writes stories to empower, entertain, and encourage emotional intelligence in young children. A former strategy and analytics professional from New York City, Maisha is currently working in her most challenging role to date: a stay-at-home mom of three tiny humans. When she’s not writing, you can find her wrangling her kids, binge watching an unhealthy amount of reality television, or belting out lyrics from the Hamilton soundtrack. After living in Africa for several years, Maisha and her family have recently moved back stateside to Alpharetta, Georgia. Visit her at maishaoso.com.
