Deepa Godiawala is a self-taught illustrator, designer and storyteller based in Ahmedabad.
Inspired by everyday life, nature and the wonderful curiosity of childhood, she believes every illustration should invite young readers to observe and imagine.
When she's not drawing, you'll find her running, experimenting with pottery or dreaming up her next story. She hopes this story encourages every child to take that first brave step, keep putting one foot in front of the other, and never stop chasing their dreams.
