Children’s books are crafted with a lot of love and excitement by authors. But while reviews for the book come from other authors, media, publishers and even parents, very rarely do they come from the kids themselves, for whom the book is written.As a publishing platform for young people, Bookosmia likes to complete this feedback loop.
It was a delight to have Veena Prasad , author of The Spark That Changed Everything interact with our young readers in the Bookosmia Live Podcast on Bakstage app and answer their unfiltered questions in the most endearing way.
