Book Spotlight: Aru’s Balcony Garden
For the next few Tuesdays, I would like to share some beautiful children’s books written by a child herself. Arundhati Nithiyanandhan is only 7 years old! She reached out to me, and describes herself as follows:
“Like most kids of my age, I have an imagination that takes me to places and make up stories from my everyday life experiences. Only, I have a father who encourages it very much. In fact, he published three of my stories and these are now available on Amazon & Amazon KU as picture books for toddlers.”
So far, Aru and her father have published three books. That is so awesome! Please check out the links below and write a review.
About the Book
Arundhati who lives in an apartment community of a metro city is used to a small garden at her home balcony that is full of blooming plants that she loves. Every morning she likes to spend a moment before leaving to catch her school bus, in the garden looking at the flowers.
This story is inspired by this habit of hers and how she likes to water the plants with her parents.
About the Author
Arundhati (Aru) is seven years old and lives in Bangalore, India. She got inspired to tell stories after drawing her first storybook in a storytelling workshop conducted by #blrlitfest 2017. She loves telling new stories to her father while they both go for a walk in the evening.
Aru and her father have taken this journey further and have successfully published 3 children storybooks which have captured the imagination of 7 years old and the professionalism of an adult. Aru creates her stories from her day to day incidents and most of them are treasured part of her childhood. She loves to play in the sand and color sketches.
