Hi, I’m Ayda Malik 👋

I love:

📚 Reading and creative writing
🎨 Painting and drawing
🥋 Karate (Brown Belt)
🚴 Cycling outdoors
🎶 Music, dancing, singing, and playing the piano

Art helps me express my love for animals and nature, and I enjoy visiting the library to discover new stories and ideas.

I’m a 10-year-old student, author, and creative artist from Mount View Primary School.

I love reading, writing, painting, and drawing, and I enjoy expressing my ideas through art and stories. One of my proudest achievements is being the co-author of the children’s book “THE BIG BULLY: Who Is The Person Behind The Mask?”. Through this book, I share messages about kindness, courage, and how children can respond to bullying in positive ways.

I have been honored to present my book at the Victorian Parliament and was also invited by my local Member of Parliament to talk about bullying and the importance of standing up for others.

Leadership & School Life

I am a Year 4 Class Captain, and I enjoy helping younger students at my school. I like supporting my friends and encouraging others to speak up and be kind.

The Big Bully

Founded by Ayda Malik when she was in Prep, Think Myno empowers students to be confident, kind, and courageous. Through workshops in schools, it teaches anti-bullying, leadership, respect, and community values, inspiring children to stand up for themselves and others. All proceeds support program growth and charitable causes, making a positive impact one student at a time.

Every weekend, I help provide free food to people experiencing homelessness and give donations wherever I can. I also support other kids at school through acts of kindness and sharing, using my pocket and birthday money to make a real difference.

The Big Bully is a children’s book written by two young authors that explores bullying with empathy and heart. The story encourages readers to understand emotions, choose kindness, and believe in the power of compassion.

Ayda’s creativity and kindness shine through everything she does.
