Hafida Tim is an author and educator specializing in working with young children. Through her books for young readers, she explores education, family, the values of solidarity, and the relationship between tradition and modernity.
Hafida Tim works at the intersection of education and children's literature. An educator and early childhood specialist, she has worked for several years at a private school, where she supports young children in their learning and discovery of the world. Her work as an author extends this educational commitment through stories that convey values such as empathy and solidarity.
Her literary world is aimed particularly at young readers and explores themes close to their everyday lives: family, education, screen time, nature, travel, as well as cultural transmission and the relationship between tradition and modernity. These themes are notably present in her picture book Mémo découvre son village.
In Mémo découvre son village, published in 2025 by Éditions AKOMA MBA, Hafida Tim tells the story of Mémo, a seven-year-old boy living in Algiers who is very fond of video games, cartoons, and the Internet. His parents tell him that he will spend the summer with his grandmother in Azzefoun, leading him to discover a different environment and a new way of experiencing everyday life.
The book is a 32-page illustrated picture book intended especially for children aged 6–7 and up. The publisher presents it around themes such as Algeria, childhood, family, screen time, nature, ecology, tradition, modernity, and travel. The illustrations are by Walish Art.
The story takes a child from Algiers to Azzefoun, with the discovery of the village at the heart of the narrative.
In 2026, Hafida Tim also published La Renaissance with Le Lys Bleu Éditions, a 112-page novel in its paperback edition.
The book follows Sami, a young man facing personal and family difficulties that challenge his dreams and lead him to search for a new sense of purpose in his life.
Through his journey, the novel explores resilience, forgiveness, faith, trust, love, and renewal, conveying the idea that rebuilding one's life remains possible despite hardship.
