Author Notes:Srividhya Venkat hopped, skipped, and jumped careers before finding her most cherished one-writing for children. She has published several picture books, including Dancing in Thatha's Footsteps , which won the 2022 South Asia Book Award, and The Clever Tailor , which won the 2019 SCBWI Crystal Kite Award. Having grown up in India and lived in three countries, Srividhya loves stories that are unique yet universal. Just like Anila's challenge with skateboarding, Srividhya has her own with swimming, which she continues to work on. And she also loves kulfi! You can read more about her at srividhyavenkat.com.
