Autor

Tarif was born in Damascus, Syria in 1957. He started writing short stories and articles in his early years of elementary school and free style poetry in his college years. He earned 2 college degrees in Engineering and Literature from Damascus University.He decided that Syria was not a safe country to live in, so he moved to the U.S. in the Eighties and restarted his life from scratch. He organized several poetry recitals in Houston in the years 2009 and 2010. As soon as the Arab Spring revolutions started late 2010, he instantly moved to their side where he published 3 books in poetry documenting them and one in short stories describing life under dictatorship. In 2018, he published his 5th book 'Hearts, Tears and the Journey of Life' that contains collective poems of Love, Lamenting and Meditation.In 2020, he published his first children book "A Tale of Seven Phones" which became an award-winner blowing the whistle about the young generation's addiction to smart phones. His next book, "What's Special About Judy", also an award winner, and later book "What's Special About Richie" both give children the magical secret about how to become SPECIAL. Following, he published "Me, My Friend and the Monster" which shares a true story from his own life that details how important a child's imagination is and how important children's stories are, to young and old. Then we added "Alien's Homework" a futuristic look at planet Earth if we decide and commit to take better care of it. This book won a Purple Dragonfly Book Award.And now we have "Turtle meets Genie" which portrays a turtle's desire for change and his eye-opening decision. Read to your children.
