Muhammad Moosa Khan is a 9-year-old Grade 4 student at Eden Park International School, Anantnag. He is a young storyteller who loves to write about snow, friendship, and courage. His imagination often begins with small moments from real life — a snowfall, a light, or a question — and turns them into magical stories that warm the heart.

Moosa lives in Anantnag, Kashmir, with his parents and his younger brother Esah, who inspired the character of Ibrahim in this book. When he isn’t writing, Moosa enjoys reading adventure tales, building snowmen, and dreaming of new stories to tell.

Lantern in the Snow is his first book — written to remind readers that even in the coldest winters, the light of love and hope can guide us home.
