Nidhi Chanani (The Children's Book Podcast #501)
SHUBH RAATRI DOST/GOOD NIGHT FRIEND
Nidhi Chanani (@nidhiart) shares SHUBH RAATRI DOST/GOOD NIGHT FRIEND, a new board book in which two children say goodnight in both Hindi and English to all of the animals in their Indian farm home. There’s an intimacy to sharing this moment with the characters in the book, as the sun goes down and as each goodnight offered is accompanied by thankfulness to what gift the object has given the children. Nidhi shares at one moment in our conversation the sentiment that caring for one another can look like sharing with someone or something and noticing when they are sharing with you.
Thank you to this week's sponsors:
And to the generous support from our Patrons.
