About this event

Biography Sita Singh is an Indian American children’s author of award-winning picture books. An architect in the past, Sita now writes stories that explore themes of heritage, identity, and belonging. Her works include Birds of a Feather, a Dolly Parton Imagination Library selection, Mango Memories, a Gold medal winner at the Florida Book Awards, and Let’s Celebrate Diwali. Her forthcoming picture book Indigo Hands is a Junior Library Guild Selection and releases from Penguin Random House on August 25, 2026. Sita’s writing journey began after moving to the United States and realizing that the experiences of families like her own were not reflected in the books her children were reading. When Sita isn’t writing, she enjoys cooking, walking, yoga, and spending time outdoors. Sita lives in South Florida with her family and a very curious dog.
