Saffron Stories

Saffron Stories has been setup by Chitra Soundar, Indian-born British author of over 20 books for children.

Saffron Stories would curate a list of children's books

• written by writers of South Asian descent in the UK / US
• Or set in South Asia
• Or has characters of South Asian origin

South Asia includes the following countries

• Afghanistan
• Bangladesh
• Bhutan
• India
• Maldives
• Nepal
• Pakistan
• & Sri Lanka

From time to time, we would blog about new books being released, books published in South Asia that should not be missed and/or topics that are relevant.

This list is aimed at librarians, booksellers and teachers who are interested in bringing diverse reading to their classrooms / customers / readers. 

We invite visitors to suggest books that we might have missed as long as it meets the criteria.

We would collect suggestions for other diverse reads periodically so if you have a book that you want to suggest, stay tuned for the various blog posts.

Keep reading!
