Sital Gorasia Chapman writes fiction, non-fiction and poetry for children. She has always loved books! As a child Sital read as much as possible. The library was her favourite place to visit. When she wasn't reading, she was writing, doodling or daydreaming about stories. Darshika Varma completed a BFA in Applied Arts at Rachana Sansad in Mumbai. Her career started off as a designer in digital marketing, from where she moved on to designing wedding invitations and eventually found her true calling as a childrens illustrator. Darshika is usually found curled up in a corner poring over a book, sniffing in the scent of inked pages, drawing inspiration from the fantasy world and bringing those vivid imaginations to life through her illustrations.
