Navjot Kaur is the founder of Saffron Press - a socially conscious, small independent press, reimagining stories to inspire little citizens of change. She is a daughter of immigrants, sister to five siblings and cisgender Mum. Navjot has been advocating for greater equity and representation of the Sikh identity in children's literature for over a decade, through her books and professional facilitation sessions with school districts and undergraduate students. Throughout her years as a classroom teacher, Navjot strived to explore curriculum through an inclusive lens. She continues that work, now as a publisher and author of four titles, with her first A Lion's Mane winning an Honor Books Award for Multicultural and International Awareness.
Navjot resides with gratitude on the traditional territory of the Mississauga of Scugog Island First Nation, (Whitby, Ontario) with a mighty leader in Equity and their gentle warrior of change.
