I get to illustrate a book!
I have news! THAT THING ABOUT BOLLYWOOD (Aladdin/Simon & Schuster, 2021), is about a girl who loves Hindi movies. It is full of (filmi) magic, family, and friends and I can’t wait for it to be out in the world!
I have some exciting news to share!
I’m thrilled to be able to work with Sterling on my picture book debut, THE MANY COLORS OF HARPREET SINGH, which will be out on September 3, 2019! Illustrated by Alea Marley. Afterword by Simran Jeet Singh.
I’m so excited to get to work with Tu Books again! My next historical middle grade novel, THE SANDALWOOD PYRE, will be published in spring 2020.
