Sabbithry Persad is a writer who explores issues facing the global community through accessible, age-appropriate storytelling. Her family heritage reflects the history of Indian indentured migration to Trinidad, a chapter of history rarely represented in children’s literature. She created The Journey Seed to honor resilience, cultural continuity, and the enduring search for belonging across generations.

Persad holds a degree in Sociology from New York University, along with an MBA and a Postgraduate Diploma in Publishing. She is the founder of Firewater Media Group and Green Solutions Magazine (2007–2012), an online publication focused on environmental solutions and sustainability.

Her other works include several award-winning titles, including the Earth Day Garbology Kids® series and the nonfiction children’s book What Is Coronavirus? How It Infects, How It Spreads, and How to Stay Safe. A veteran, Persad now lives in Orlando.
