About Nariyah Rose

 

Nariyah Rose is an inspiring 9-year-old author, young entrepreneur, and creative advocate whose writing journey began at just five years old. After losing her father at the age of three, Nariyah found comfort and healing through storytelling and art. Using cherished memories shared by her mother, videos saved on her mum’s phone, and the little she remembered herself, she began writing stories and drawing pictures to keep her father’s memory alive.

 

With the loving support of her mum and grandmother, Nariyah’s heartfelt drawings and writings were carefully brought together to create her first published book, Dancing with Daddy’s Memory. This deeply moving book celebrates the special bond she shared with her father and carries a powerful message: memories last forever. Through her story, Nariyah aims to comfort children who have experienced the loss of a parent or loved one and encourage them to express their feelings through writing and art.

 

Nariyah’s work and impact have already received remarkable recognition. She is the proud winner of the One True Little Hero Samaritan 2025 Award, was nominated for the True Little Scribe Hero Award 2025, and has been shortlisted for the West London Business Awards 2026. Her inspiring journey has also been featured in magazines and highlighted by journalists who recognise her as a young author making a meaningful difference in her community.

 

Continuing her mission, Nariyah released her second book, Oh Boy, How Life Has Changed, which explores themes of growing up, adapting to life’s changes, and personal reflection. Through this book, she connects with young readers navigating change and encourages resilience, self-expression, and confidence.

 

 

Nariyah Rose Story House

 

Nariyah Rose Story House was created as more than just a brand — it is a safe and creative space built around the power of storytelling. The name “Story House” represents a home for children’s voices, emotions, imagination, and healing.

 

Just as a house provides safety and comfort, Nariyah Rose Story House is designed to be a place where children feel seen, heard, and supported through stories and art. It reflects Nariyah’s own journey — turning memories, emotions, and creativity into something meaningful and empowering.

 

Through Nariyah Rose Story House, she and her team aim to build a community where stories live on, feelings are expressed freely, and young authors are encouraged to grow with confidence.

 

 

School Workshops & Community Engagement

 

Through Nariyah Rose Story House, Nariyah delivers engaging and inspiring workshops in schools. During these sessions, she reads from her books, shares her personal journey, and hosts interactive Q&A discussions where children can ask questions about writing, feelings, and creativity.

 

Her workshops include guided drawing and storytelling activities, encouraging children to express their emotions through art and writing in a safe and supportive environment. These sessions not only inspire creativity but also promote emotional wellbeing, confidence, and self-belief among young people.

Nariyah and her team are passionate about advocating for:

    •    Emotional wellbeing support for children

    •    Creative expression as a tool for healing

    •    Early entrepreneurship and leadership skills

At just nine years old, Nariyah Rose is more than an author — she is a symbol of resilience, creativity, leadership, and hope. Through Nariyah Rose Story House, her mission continues to grow: building a world where every child knows their story matters, their feelings matter, and their memories will always live on.
