Join Anderson’s Bookshop for an in-person event and signing line with author Srividhya Venkat, to celebrate the release of picture book “Girls on Wheels.”
More about Girls on Wheels
Inspired by the skateboarding revolution in India, Girls on Wheels follows three friends who support one another through the ups and downs of learning to skateboard.
Anila is on her way to her favorite place: the skate park. She longs to glide on her board and feel the thrill of catching air. But when she arrives, the ramp looks like a concrete sea monster! Fear creeps in, making her once-broken arm ache. But Sana’s smile and Damini’s laugh wrap Anila in courage. Her friends remind her that in skateboarding, sometimes you fall—but sometimes you fly!
Srividhya Venkat’s lyrical text and Kate Wadsworth’s vibrant illustrations capture the energy and movement that make this picture book soar.
Tickets: $23 for book + admission
Pre-registration is required as space is limited.
Srividhya will give a presentation, followed by an audience Q&A. After, Srividhya will have a signing line.
