Nandita Da Cunha on her books -- My Trip to La La Land and Miracle on Sunderbaag Street, and why she can't live without writing!

It takes a special skill to write books for emerging readers and Nandita Da Cunha seems to have mastered that skill. Her books, Miracle on Sunderbaag Street and Pedru and the Big Boom have been smash hits and she is back this summer with My Trip to La La Land, a must-read for emerging readers. In this episode of Tell Me A Story, Nandita and I talk about her strong female characters and their representation in Indian children's literature, how young readers can always look for and find hope in the most depressing of stories, and a little bit about parenting in the times we live in!
