About Us

Diyara Press represents our ambition to inspire children to imagine, to dream, and to believe in achieving greater and greater things throughout their lives.

Beginning from the earliest days of a child’s development, we try to make books an irreplaceably fun and fulfilling source of information and direction for growth.

Our books captivate children’s attention through high quality artwork, imaginative stories, and clearly presented lessons along with interesting facts.

Diyara Press is dedicated to engaging children through exciting, imaginative stories and activities with characters that promote curiosity, respect, empathy, and creative problem solving.

We create stories that celebrate who kids are today and help them dream even bigger about who they want to be tomorrow.

A walking ray of sunshine, Sitara always finds the silver lining to every situation. She loves the outdoors and when she is not out playing sports, she can be found engrossed in a book under a tree. Wise for her age, she loves exploring new aspects of life, like learning yoga & dance!
