Carrying on in the nonsense-verse tradition of Dr Seuss, Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll, Indian writer Anushka Ravishankar’s rich and jubilant children’s picture books are now available in the UK from Tara Books. Her work inspires children’s appetite for irreverence, fun and fantasy, all the while touching on social concerns in the lightest and wittiest fashion. She collaborates with award-winning illustrators from around the world.

Anushka is fast becoming known in the UK as one of the best children’s poets of her generation. Her wildly successful
Tiger on a Tree (Tara Books) won a place on the American Library Association Notable Children’s Books List, among other accolades.

Most recently, her wonderful Catch that Crocodile! (Tara Books) was reviewed in The Guardian: “ This is a memorable and catchy verse story,” and in Time Out, “A sparse, rhythmic tale, ideal for reading aloud to ages 4-7.”
