Lavanya Karthik: Author and Illustrator

Lavanya Karthik creator of the bestseller Ninja Nani series talks about what inspired her to create Nani, who she really writes for, and her secret to raising a reader!

Mother of Readers is exploring the podcast space! Since we simply cannot get enough of our favourite books, I have decided to sit down and chat with the creators! Every fortnight, I will be talking with an author or illustrator from the Indian children’s literature space. So get ready for what promises to be a wild ride! Let’s navigate this space together, find out what it takes to create characters that remain in our minds, and let’s ask our favourite authors and illustrators to sit down and Tell us a Story!

In this week’s episode, I talk to the creator of the smash-hit series Ninja Nani and the exhaustively researched Dreamer series. We talk inspiration for characters, why animals make a frequent appearance in her books, and even figure out if she really thinks like a 9-year-old boy! Tune in and join us for this very fun chat that ends with a rapid-fire round you don't want to miss!
