She released her first book, "Meet the Universe" at age 5. She hosts the "Science with Sana" YouTube Channel, where she shares DIY science experiments and stories about great inventions and scientific discoveries. 

When she learned about how Tigers were nearly getting extinct, she did a fundraiser through her artwork and got the inspiration to do a kids' adventure series based on wildlife protection to appeal to all young adults."

When Sana and Clara got whisked away to a magical land by Clara's ring given to her by her Grandmother, they had fun. But soon, they found themselves captured. Can Clara and Sana find the truth about their captor and help what is in danger, or will they die trying?

Written and illustrated by a young author, this book would appeal to all 6-10 years old with its adventurous fantasy storyline and a powerful, much-needed message on endangered animals. The short chapters, fast-paced plot, and brightly colored illustrations are perfect for kids starting with chapter books for independent reading and reading aloud. New vocabulary sprinkled throughout the chapters(with an added glossary at the end) would also capture the interest of advanced readers. Also included in the back are facts about endangered animals.

This would be the first of the series.

Part 2 coming up in May 2023.
