Himanjali Sankar

Himanjali is an editor and writer. Her children’s and YA books include The Stupendous Timetelling Superdog and Talking of Muskaan, which were shortlisted for the Crossword Book Award. Mrs C Remembers, her first novel for adults, won her the FICCI Publishing Award for Upcoming Author of the Year in 2018. Her first picture book for children, Forgetful Dida, was published in April 2024.

Himanjali likes birthday cakes with candles, the rhythm of waves breaking on a shore, the first glimpse of mountain peaks on long car journeys, with a dog settled on her lap and a child’s sleepy head on her shoulder.
