Arti Sonthalia

Arti Sonthalia loves books and stories, but if you ever see smoke coming out of her kitchen you know she is trying to cook something quirky and silly! And maybe you could drop by and try some of her strange food.

She already has a bunch of books, Big Bully and M-me (which was nominated for the Crystal Kite Asia Awards) Hungry To Read, Best Friends Forever (won the Ficci book of the year award 2020) Hungry To Play (shortlisted for the Neev
Awards 2020) and her new book Read Write Race.

If you scroll through YouTube looking for her, you'll find her as a TEDx speaker. Besides reading and writing, Sonthalia enjoys long walks and chocolates too!
