Chitra Soundar is originally from the culturally colourful India where traditions, festivals and mythology are a way of life. After six great years in the island city-state Singapore, Chitra now lives in London.

She has always been influenced by her socially conscious parents. Following in their footsteps, Chitra has been involved in fund-raising, and active social work right from high school, sharing the Best Social Worker Award, with her friend, when she passed out of Junior College. She won the first prize for storytelling at the age of 7 and went on to ad-lib limericks for the state radio at nine. Along with friends, she published a handwritten carbon-copied magazine for her neighbourhood when she twelve.

Chitra's prime interest is in writing picture books, early and emergent readers and mysteries. She enjoys retelling clever and funny folktales from around the world, especially from India.
