After working in the advertising industry as a writer in three countries (India, Malaysia, South Africa) Gauri has found her joy in writing for children. A KURTA TO REMEMBER is her debut picture book. Born and raised in India, Gauri proudly carries her culture with her wherever she goes. She illustrates content for a program called SHINE (Spiritual Heritage of India for Next-Generation Empowerment) that shares the wonders and glory of India with children. Gauri now lives in Chicago with her husband and daughter. You can find her on Instagram @giddymum where she showcases her upside-down world of parenting. You can even listen to her podcast - Things I Learn from Children’s Picture Books on Spotify.
