Lexington Book Festival- North Carolina

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.
