In 2001, my first translated book for child and young readers was published. Over the past 24 years, a total of 14 of my books for children have been published by well-known and discerning publishers in Maharashtra. Recently, two of my books have been released in the market by the renowned publishing house Hastakshar.
Saat Lok katha (Seven Folk Tales) is a creative retelling of thought-provoking folk stories that reflect the rich heritage of folk culture. The book Goshti Pustake Japnaranchya (Stories of the Keepers of Books) features stories related to the world of books, including librarians, library workers, friends of libraries, and readers.
I am confident that these books will be liked by children and young readers, and will also be appreciated by those who have a deep connection with folk culture and the library movement.
