Selma Cook became a Muslim in 1988 in her native country of Australia. She migrated to Egypt in 1993. Now a mother of five, she works at IslamOnline.net. She has written a book about her journey to Islam called ‘The Miracles of My Life,’ an Islamic poetry book called ‘The Light of Submission,’ as well as the Miss Moppy series (Islamic stories for children). She has published Islamic novels for teenagers: the ‘Amirah Stevenson series’ includes 'Buried Treasure' and 'The Color of Fear'.
Her interest in Youth work goes back many years. During the first few years after becoming a Muslim, she organized activities for Muslim teens who came from a wide variety of nationalities and backgrounds. In Egypt, she designed and implemented Summer School Programs for teenage girls. She hopes to facilitate volunteer work and promote the development of services and resources for the youth.
