Children’s book author Dr. Simarjeet Kaur Sandhu, or Dr. Simi, as she likes to be called, recalls as a young child reading books in bookstores, libraries, and classrooms, but the stories did not include characters who looked like her or spoke of her cultural or religious background. A lifelong lover of reading and writing, she realized as an adult that she wanted to help young readers have a different experience, so she created the The Adventures of Simran & Sehaj series to spread awareness and build a learning environment that is accepting of all people. |
Available on Amazon.com Dr. Simi is the founder of Hands2Inspire, a nonprofit organization that is on a mission to give back, share knowledge, and raise awareness. Proceeds from the Simran & Sehaj books go to their academic scholarship fund and community outreach projects. |
