I believe there is so much that the kids can absorb and learn. Their imagination and creativity are unmatched. Through your books, if you can give wings to their creativity then that's a huge thing for a writer. My goal is to help kids express themselves better, understand their feelings, and see the world in a different way.

As a writer, I believe we learn to see things differently to create interesting stories for our readers. It gives us an opportunity to be imaginative and creative that broadens our views. Most importantly, your writing can influence and impact others positively and that is the most satisfying and exciting aspect of being a writer.

Once I happened to see a post on facebook by a parent who said that her 4-year-old daughter saw princesses as a pretense. She wanted books that can give a different perspective to young kids, especially girls, where princesses are shown as strong and brave as others. If we dig deeper into history, its filled with many examples of princesses who lead their countries successfully. It is just a matter of bringing those examples to kids and make them see the real princesses who are not just pretty dolls but much more than that.
My recent book "The Messy Bun Princess" is an inspiration from real-life princesses in the history. I believe this book is perfect for all kids as it tries to break the irrational societal norms.
The illustrations are very rich that can keep the kids glued to the pictures. I hope the readers enjoy the book as much as I did while creating it. This happens to be my favorite creation so far.
