Rea Malhotra-Mukhtyar

Rea is an award-winning children’s author, who is passionate about telling stories full of heart and humour.

Born and brought up in Bombay with a voracious appetite for company, she adores books and food in equal measure. She also has a twin brother, but luckily for him, he can’t be consumed. Like most grown-ups, Rea juggles many responsibilities, such as being an English and Drama teacher, a writer, actor and voice-over artist.

When she isn’t busy being responsible, Rea enjoys swimming with jellyfish, dancing in muddy fields, and buying far too many sparkly things.

Her stories are full of funky hairdos, zesty zebras, and Spanish soap dishes.

It’s hard work being this silly, but someone’s got to do it.
