About the Author

Nandhini Manikhavel (A) Nandhy was born in India, studied for her master’s in the UK and moved to the USA in 2008.  Between corporate jobs, she worked part-time volunteering in kid’s schools and community jobs that made her realize how much passion she felt for writing her own children’s book.  Her parents encouraged her to tell endless stories from a young age.

Nandhini encourages children to experience gratefulness towards everything, starting with family and continuing to the world they belong to.

She is blessed with a beautiful family- her husband (Maheshkumar), daughter (Sruthi), son (Om), and pet dog (Cosmo).

Nandhini loves to spend time outdoors, enjoying nature, she loves gardening, and arts and crafts work. Most of all, she loves to make even a small difference in a child’s life with her book.  She hopes this book will inspire you to be GRATEFUL!!!
