Picture copyright Charlotte Knee
Rashmi Sirdeshpande writes the kind of books I wish had been around when I was younger. Dealing with important topics in an accessible way, she is taking picture books in a new and exciting direction.
Tackling subjects such as money, the kindness and wonder of the world that is too rarely reported, and how to live an extraordinary life, these are books every child should have on their shelves.
Your recent work – Dosh – is a vital book about a subject that was rarely taught in a child-friendly way. Can you tell us a bit more about it.
