Ep. 64: Bringing India's nature to life with children's author Leela Gour Broome
Manage episode 319460646 series 2674557
A great honor to bring you my latest guest author, musician, educator and environmentalist Leela Gour Broome who shares her love of the natural world with children through her books and teaching. Currently based on her farm outside Pune, she brings her deep knowledge of life on the tea plantations of South India to her books Flute in the Forest and The Anaishola Chronicle. Check out all four of her books for kids set in an Indian context, and hear her fascinating story of growing up with an Indian father and Dutch mother as an Army kid all over India. We discuss the urgent need for kids to spend time in and to know the nature that surrounds them, the importance of books that reflect kids’ own culture and so much more!
Brew yourself a cup of chai and join me on this trip to the tea plantations via your favorite podcast app, or www.theindianedit.com and please take a second to rate us wherever you’re listening so the voices of these inspiring women can be heard all over the world!
