It gives us a great pleasure to inform that Reading with your kid’s podcast is gaining immense popularity across the globe and especially in India.

In this episode of Reading with your kid’s podcast, Bijal Vachharajani joins us from Bengaluru, India to talk about writing for children, and why she’s so driven to connect kids with climate change.
She’s the author of two children’s books – So You Want to Know about the Environment and what’s Neema Eating Today?

She’s a consultant editor with Pratham Books.
