About this title

About the Authors

Sharada Eswar is a writer, storyteller, singer, and arts educator whose work spans disciplines and art forms. A graduate in Literature Studies, she trained to be a writer and a storyteller. Simultaneously she also immersed myself in Carnatic Music (south Indian classical music) in Chennai, India. She was part of the team representing India at the India Abroad show in Paris and New York. She was also one of the three chosen by the Centres Culturels des Lions Clubs de Paris to present Indian culture in Normandy, France. Since then, she has been performing and teaching in Toronto and internationally, drawing on her own South Asian ancestry and heritage.

Dushy Gnanapragasam was born and raised in Atchuvely and learned Tamil and English at St Henry's College in Illavalai--both small villages in what is now called Sri Lanka. He is grateful for the opportunity to live, raise family, and practice his language on Indigenous land now called Mississauga, Ontario.

Radha Raulgaonkar is a Toronto-based illustrator, whose work reflects how she has experienced the world, displaying a variety of stories ranging from mental health to everyday observational humour. When she isn't laughing at the absurdity of life, she is cooking, learning, and decolonizing the small world around her.
