In episode 12, we talk about "Writing Children's Books for Desi Kids in US" with a very special guest who is a writer, mom and kindergarten teacher, Jyoti Rajan Gopal. Growing up, she lived in Thailand, Indonesia, Myanmar, India and China. Twenty-eight years ago, she moved to New York and now lives in Yonkers in a quirky old Victorian, with her husband and two daughters. Jyoti currently writes stories that speak to her heart, that reflect her multiple identities, that she wishes her daughters had growing up, that she wishes her students had now. When not writing or teaching, she loves to work in her garden, dance, and explore the many New York State Park trails.
