\u201cSo many kids wanna be artists - they wanna make comics. How powerful is it for me to say that whatever you imagine and whatever you want to pursue, you can do that?\u201d\nNidhi Chanani an Indian-American freelance illustrator, cartoonist and writer. Nidhi\u2019s debut graphic novel Pashmina won ALL the awards, but her diverse body of work - from Jukebox, Binny\u2019s Diwali, the Shark Princess series (a personal favorite of Raman\u2019s\xa0daughter), and October\u2019s forthcoming of Super Boba Caf\xe9 -\xa0will not just just blow you away, but also move you. Basically if you\u2019ve got a kid or are a kid at heart, you should be reading Nidhi\u2019s work.\xa0Nidhi\u2019s story is almost as amazing as her take on work and life, we\u2019ve become fans of not just her work - but her approach to community. She\u2019s such a nerd about storytelling and art - and her place in it - and you\u2019ll definitely get the vibe from this chat that you're hearing old friends talk for the first time.\xa0\n\nLEARN ABOUT\n\nNidhi: everydayloveart.com\n\n\ninstagram.com/nidhiart\n\nPashmina (2017): https://www.goodreads.com/fa/book/show/33163360\n\n\nJukebox (2021: goodreads.com/book/show/54017835-jukebox\n\n\nSuper Boba Cafe (2023): abramsbooks.com/product/super-boba-caf-book-1_9781419759567/\n\n\n\nMENTIONS\n\nWORD: \u201cHapa\u201d - wikipedia.org/wiki/Hapa\n\n\nBOOK: Interpreter of Maladies (Jhumpa Lahiri) - goodreads.com/book/show/486323\n\n\nAUTHOR: Jhumpa Lahiri\n\nBOOK: Bastard Out Of Carolina (Dorothy Allison) - goodreads.com/en/book/show/25354\n\n\nBOOK: A Swim in a Pond in the Rain (George Saunders) - goodreads.com/book/show/53487237-a-swim-in-a-pond-in-the-rain\n\n\nINDIAN COMICS: Amar Chitra Katha - wikipedia.org/wiki/Amar_Chitra_Katha\n\n\nCOMIC: American Born Chinese (Gene Luen Yang) - goodreads.com/en/book/show/118944\n\n\nBOOK: Neverwhere (Neil Gaiman) - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54236146-neverwhere\n\nSONG: Lizzo, \u201cSpecial\u201d - youtu.be/geZQoa4CPlk\n\n\nPERSON: Janelle Mon\xe1e - wikipedia.org/wiki/Janelle_Mon%C3%A1e\n\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
