My First Book

[Navya Raju]

Hello everyone! I'm super excited to share the 'Lift the flap - Opposites' children's book I have worked on at the start of this year, with Vaaranam publishers (Australia) who produce high-end Tamil (South Asian language) children's books, mainly for kids promoting diversity in terms of language and culture in children's books.

It was a journey, I have started pursuing illustration full time from the start of this year and I made huge progress in the journey, I'm learning a lot every day and I have to be thankful for svs learn to have helped me alot in this process.

Incorporating diversity in visual representation is important to show a sense of acceptance, understanding, and relatability to children across all cultures and races and I'm very happy to have been part of this project.
