My First Shloka Book Vishnu (Prayer)

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Chitwan’s lifelong love affair with children’s picture books that began in childhood continued through her time as a young student in Boston and London pursuing bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education. She spent endless hours browsing the children’s section in the giant bookstores there. She especially loved books that were subtle and magical and uplifting, that were beautiful to touch and feel, that inspired without being preachy. She wished to see books of this caliber with themes from home, with pictures of Indian kids and Indian places.
