(BPRW) From Loss to Legacy

Award-Winning Author Dr. Quiana Shamsid-Deen Announces the Release of “Nya’s Enchanted Garden,” the Follow-Up to Beloved Children’s Book “Nya’s Shining Star”

(Black PR Wire) ATLANTA, GA — Following the heartfelt success of Nya’s Shining Star, a children’s book born from the sacred love of a mother for her daughter, Dr. Quiana Shamsid-Deen is set to release the second book in the series, Nya’s Enchanted Garden, on July 31, 2025. Available now for pre-order on Barnes & Noble, this magical new installment continues a story of grief transformed into purpose, told through the wonder-filled lens of a child’s imagination.

The journey began with Nya’s Shining Star, a book that paid tribute to Dr. Shamsid-Deen’s daughter Nya Iman, who lived three days after birth due to Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). What could have remained a silent sorrow became a catalyst for healing and purpose. Her name was Nya, which means “purpose.” It wasn’t just a name. It was a movement. This movement resonated deeply with families navigating grief, offering a story and a spiritual respite.

Nya’s Enchanted Garden reunites readers with Micah and Aya, Nya’s younger siblings, as they discover a magical garden created by their sister in the stars. Guided by mystical creatures and Nya’s light, they enter a space filled with hope, healing, and messages only the heart can hear. Where Nya’s Shining Star comforted hearts, Nya’s Enchanted Garden inspires them to grow.

“Writing this series has been both my grief work and heart work,” says Dr. Shamsid-Deen. “These books are love letters to my daughter and every family who has had to say goodbye too soon. But more than that, they are declarations of how faith, storytelling, and imagination can create safe spaces for healing for children and adults alike.”

Nya’s Enchanted Garden weaves imagination and inspiration with beautiful illustrations that evoke wonder while gently exploring grief, family, and divine connection themes. Like its predecessor, it is poised to become a treasured resource for parents, educators, therapists, and anyone seeking to nurture emotional literacy in children.

Nya’s Shining Star is still available through www.fempoweredstories.com and has already earned praise for its sensitive yet empowering messages.

Both titles serve not just as books, but as a movement bloomed, turning whispers of home into a chorus of change.
