Veena Prasad’s writing spans diverse genres and age
groups, but what she enjoys best is combining science
and history in fun ways for young readers. She also
teaches English literature and creates crosswords for
her weekly column in Th e Hindu Young World.
Veena believes there is hope yet for the planet, if
we all make sustainable life choices. On her part, she
strives to minimize the trash she generates by refusing
single-use disposables, and composting her organic
waste, so her young readers are not burdened with the
task of cleaning up the planet!
