Mrinalini and her grandmother Shobha Tharoor Srinivasan have co-written a chapter book called Bird/Dog (Niyogi, 2026). After an exciting book launch and lit festival appearance in Delhi and Bangalore this summer, they are delighted to now share the book in Houston.
DaQuon Wilson, a PhD student from the Rice English department who has worked with Scholastic Book Clubs and studies children's literature, will moderate the event.
Mrinalini wrote her half of the 160-page book when she was 11 and a 6th grader at Lanier; it took a year to write (and then another year to revise and find a publisher!). Her grandmother Shobha is an established children's book writer in India, but this is her first collaboration and first chapter book. So: a totally amazing learning experience for both.
HSPVA Friends’ Middle School Workshops provide opportunities for students in grades 6-8 to participate in classes in Creative Writing, Dance, Instrumental and Vocal Music, Theatre, and Visual Arts.
