When I first heard about Chryseis Knight from Penguin Random House I was just delighted and awed. A 3-year-old who wrote and illustrated her own book- Wow – it does not get more fascinating than that I knew I had to “meet” this wonder and we set up an online interaction. Chryseis and her mom Verin joined us from Singapore and what you will see below is the video of my talk with them.
Chryseis is the most polite young lady and she wished me a Good Evening Ms.Upasana and I was so thrilled. This young girl is all of 7 years old. She loves Indian food and fabrics. She is also planning to write more.
We do hope you visit us someday soon Chryseis and we can take you shopping for fabric and eat lots of Indian food.
This delightful book is a great gift for children and is simple enough for very young readers.
