There’s no place like Nani Camp! This playful picture book celebrates the joy, wonder, and fun of spending the night at a grandparent’s house.

When Padma’s parents go away for the weekend on a babymoon (whatever that is), Padma goes away too—to Nani Camp!

Nani Camp may look suspiciously like Nani’s house, but it’s a lot more fun than staying home. From scavenger hunts to arts-and-crafts, camp is packed with activities, but things don’t always go to plan. Luckily, Padma will learn there’s no problem a cup of chai and a positive attitude can’t fix!

Grab your emergency slime, fill your pockets with supplies, and don’t wear anything you’re afraid of getting wet. Now you’re ready for Nani Camp!

  • Praise for My Diwali Light

    A Junior Library Guild Selection

    “[A] vibrant account of a close-knit family and community. MY DIWALI LIGHT should be part of all sets of books about traditions and cultures.”
    Booklist
  • "Mirchandani equates Diwali with collectivity, showing that the joy of the holiday can be shared with family and friends inside and outside of the culture."
    SLJ
  • "Mirchandani’s simple, elegant text explains the holiday, vividly bringing to life a family that loves coming together to share traditions, while Kelkar’s bold use of color (particularly shades of purple, blue, and green) makes the illustrations pop…. A warm, heartfelt ode to Diwali and the joys of family."
    Kirkus Reviews
  • Praise for Hair Twins:

    * “A feel-good picture book about diversity, family relationships, and self-love.”
    Kirkus Reviews, starred review
  • * “Digitally collaged illustrations in a colorful cartoon style by Hatam spotlight a cast with a range of abilities, hair textures, religions, and skin tones. A sweet read that epitomizes a compassionate bond between parent and child.”
    Publishers Weekly, starred review
  • "A loving portrayal of a father-daughter bond that is strengthened over daily hair care, something that honors the characters’ religion while nurturing their relationship."
    Horn Book
