Happy World Book Day – A Poem by Anita Bacha

my forthcoming plan

write a new book for children –

the world best readers

Anita Bacha

Dear friends and readers

My passion for books and for writing once again drove my steps to the London Book Fair at Olympia in London last month.

I was flabbergasted to see the innumerable children books exposed. I met several publishers including the Austin Macauley team and I was curious to know about the future of writers of children books.

I was over the moon to learn from a big children book publisher that ‘ for Austin Macauley to publish your story means that your story is a very good one!’ He wished to remain anonymous because he is a publisher too.

With my book ‘The Princess and the Crow’ I was proud to walk around visiting the book stalls as an author of Austin Macauley.

My Rajasthan friends bought their copy of The Princess and the Crow from Amazon India. I am sharing a photo of village children in Malpura reading a paperback copy.

I am invited by Austin Macauley to submit a new manuscript. It dawned upon me to write unique stories about my childhood.

Why unique? Because each one of us has a unique childhood.

I’m working on a new book for children except that it will take some time to write because of my eyes problems.

With your blessings I will write!
