Deepa Agarwal on Caravan to Tibet and why it is so important to use real life as an inspiration for her stories!

Chatting with Deepa Agarwal is like getting a masterclass in writing for children. On this episode of Tell Me A Story, I chat with Deepa about her hugely successful book, Caravan to Tibet. It started off as a long story for a magazine, but was later turned into a book and was part of the IBBY Honour List in 2008. Caravan to Tibet is inspired by stories she grew up listening to and in this episode, we chat about researching for the story, how she came up with such memorable characters and of course, her advice to young kids who want to start writing.
