Sanjana Kulkarni has always believed that stories can take us anywhere— whether it’s a jungle full of talking animals or a garden of giggling roses. She is always dreaming up adventures that make kids laugh and think. Sanjana lives in Bangalore, where she spends her time exploring new ideas, reading, and of course petting as many stray dogs as possible. This is her first children’s book.
