Binny’s Diwali pre-order

I’m excited to share that I’ve partnered with one of my favorite local bookshops, Bel and Bunna, to exclusively offer signed copies and a free gift for pre-orders of my next picture book, Binny’s Diwali, written by Thrity Umrigar. All pre-orders will receive a signed copy and one 8×10 print (you cannot request specific prints). BUT if you pre-order 2 copies, you will receive each print (pictured below).

It’s a strange time to release a book, to say the least. When I was working on the illustrations for Binny’s Diwali, I had a note to myself that read “make this the best Diwali book ever!” It’s no secret that it’s my favorite holiday. I love Binny’s Diwali for many reasons – namely that it invites all readers, whether familiar or unfamiliar with the holiday, into the life of Binny and a celebration she wants to share. Diwali centers around banishing darkness and ushering in light, which is definitely needed this year.

I completely understand if buying books isn’t possible right now. But if you can share or boost in any way, I’m grateful. I’m offering the prints as an extra gift because I know we could all use some Diwali light.

Binny’s Diwali releases on September 1st.

shubh raatri dost

We are raising our daughter bilingual. She makes jokes, demands and sweet proclamations in Hindi and English. As we build her personal library I noticed a lack of bilingual books that incorporate both languages. And so I set out to create my own. I approached Bharat Babies and they happily agreed to join me on this journey.

In my work, I commit myself to representation, inclusion and love. Creating Shubh Raatri Dost/Good Night Friend is a project very close to my heart. It addresses an important need. With it, I invite you into a culture and language.  I love my culture, my language and books. I am overjoyed to be able to create and share this board book with you.

Shubh Raatri Dost is available for pre-order now. It ships in October. Pre-order exclusives include the options for a signed copy and postcard set.

Thank you for your support, always.

With love,

Nidhi
