This week, our spotlight is on illustrator
Sahitya Rani!
An artist and designer based in Bangalore, Sahitya Rani loves pop-up books, desserts, video
games and drawing flowers on post-it notes. While
not at her full-time job or illustrating children’s
books, she’s usually curled up with a graphic novel
and sipping filter coffee. Or perhaps watching reruns
of her comfort shows and planning her next painting.
Or simply eavesdropping on the most exciting sunbird and squirrel conversations outside her window. It really depends on the day!
Get a closer look at Sahitya Rani's vibrant illustrations in our picture books: 'Letters to Krisha' and 'Lights Out'! You know where to get your copies :p (Website Link in Bio!🔗)

When Tsering prepares a delicious bowl of Thukpa for all, on a pitch dark night in Ladakh, his Abi stands beside marvelled and proud.
On the 7th day of Navratri, Abi wishes you empathy, and the strength to understand lives other than yours.
