Karina Vunnam
Bringing Mumbai's Heart to Life
This series springs from the vibrant memories of Karina Vunnam's own childhood adventures on the streets of Mumbai with her siblings. Growing up, Karina treasured the sweet moments shared with her family, even in challenging circumstances. Recognizing how stories about street children often focus solely on hardship, she felt called to share a different perspective—one filled with joy, love, and the everyday magic of childhood.
"I wanted to show that beauty exists everywhere, even in unexpected places," says Karina.
"These stories celebrate the resilience of children and the power of sibling bonds while giving voice to a community often overlooked in children's literature."
Trần Hà Trang
Capturing Mumbai's Magic
Hà Trang, an independent artist from Vietnam, brings the vibrant world of Mumbai to life through her enchanting illustrations. Her passion for art, which began in childhood, has evolved into a celebrated career in book cover and children's book illustration.
"This story touched my heart deeply," Ha Trang shares. "While illustrating Amit's Sweet Surprise, I discovered not just India's rich visual culture, but the universal language of family love and childhood wonder. Each illustration is crafted to capture both the energy of Mumbai's streets and the tender moments between siblings."
