As a child, I was told there were no children's books with Sikh characters because "people who look like you aren't relatable." I heard the same as an adult: "There's just no market." A year ago, we released ours — and now there are more than 25,000 copies all over the world.pic.twitter.com/ykgrn5UPwf
Fauja Singh Keeps Going is an award-winner and a best-seller. I hope its success shows publishers that people DO want diverse books. Even more, I hope it opens up opportunities for creators of various identities—including my own—to tell our stories at the highest levels.
I'm deeply indebted to our team who saw the value in this story and invested in it:
—The talented @Ballyjinder, whose art brought the story to life.
—@Tweetpathi of @KokilaBooks, who saw the value and saw it through.
—@TanusriPrasanna, the first to see and support the vision.
Shattering ceilings is about breaking through and pulling ourselves up—and bringing others along with us. I love that this kids and parents love this book. I love even more that this book will play a small role in opening doors for other writers.https://bookshop.org/books/fauja-singh-keeps-going-the-true-story-of-the-oldest-person-to-ever-run-a-marathon/9780525555094?gclid=Cj0KCQjwm9yJBhDTARIsABKIcGYCABar-WqzDqH2Zn8PxV5t_OMKcdbsSALkdAST9HgBS_uoHn382z8aAks8EALw_wcB …

The book has been published in Japanese! My dream is still to have it in Punjabi. Hindi and Urdu, too. If any presses in India are interested, please feel free to reach out. Would love to make it more accessible for people in India.
Amazing bro! Really great to see this! I know what you mean about the perception others have of people who are different. Which is strange because everyone is different...
Anyways, mubarak! 
Congratulations.
That's so awesome! Congratulations, Simran! 
Did you happen to see that Arthur (the kids show) had a Sikh character in it now?
