The Pebble that Created Ripples

Hailing originally from India, Gita Varadarajan is another talented author that will be at the Lexington Book Festival. Although Varadarajan claims to have never been much of a writer growing up, she has written a wide variety of publications for readers of all ages that aim to celebrate and embrace diversity and differences in identities. With works such as “My Saree,” a sweet story of a girl taking pride in her Indian culture with her saree and “Save Me a Seat,” a story about a newly-immigrated student named Ravi who is looking to fit into his all-American school, Varadarajan is looking to educate and foster a healthier environment for many children through literature and the art of humorous yet profound storytelling.
