Author Name: Lata Mani

Lata Mani is a historian, poet and cultural critic. She has published on a broad range of issues from feminism to contemporary politics and spiritual philosophy. Her adventures with writing for children began in 2008 with a request for a story from her four-year-old nephew, Gautam, and, as it can sometimes happen, one story led to another. . .
The Tamarind Tree and The Spider's Web, her first two picture books with Tulika, have a meditative quality and make profound statements about childhood ever so delicately. Lata lives in Bangalore.
