Fly in the Chai

ZENIA WADHWANI is the author of the picture books Once Upon a Sari, Fly in the Chai and ‘Twas the Night Before Diwali. Zenia is an avid reader, an advocate for literacy and a promoter of emerging writers, but it took the pandemic and a looming milestone birthday to unleash her first children’s story. By day, Zenia spends her time working on issues of equity and social justice; by night, she lets her creativity flow into her writing. Zenia lives in Toronto, Canada, with her family, and many of her stories are inspired by her daughter Avani.
