Urvashi Tandon is a professor of Anaesthesiology, who is trained in Paediatric Anaesthesia and hence the inclination to write for children. She has served in the Armed Forces for nearly three decades and has written articles for magazines including travelogues, apart from professional research work. She is a trained vocalist, an energy healer and a spiritual seeker. She strongly believes in living consciously.
Her belief that the planet seriously needs help today as a result of our thoughtless regard for nature while we continue to strive for material comforts is what brought this book about. She feels it is prudent to start spreading awareness at a young and impressionable age to even think of a better society in the years to come.
