Book Release: Dinaben and the Lions of Gir

To children everywhere. Inspired by our own.

With that as the line of dedication in their debut work, long-time bloggers on Saffron Tree, Praba Ram and Meera Sriram are thrilled to announce the release of their first book for children titled Dinaben and the Lions of Gir. The book has been published by Tulika Books - an outstanding, independent publisher based in Chennai whose work needs no introduction. The authors have been passionate blogger-advocates of reading and children's literature for many years now, and we are all very excited for them.

Here is the book on Tulika's bookshelf - http://www.tulikabooks.com/bilingualbooks23.htm#dinaben.

It will be available in bookstores in India and can be ordered online as well.

Please read about their journey in writing the book, and the inside scoop about the story at:
