Wrapped up the week on a sweet note. I tried making rice kheer at home. A comforting Indian dessert made with milk, rice, sugar, nuts and a touch of cardamom. 🩵 You can learn about many other Indian desserts in Mithai Box Is Not Empty. 📕 #ricepudding #indiandessert #kidlit

As we wrap up our month of #writingtips, remember that great books don't just happen. They take a lot of work. Read great books. Do your research. Revise until it shines!

Great tip by @namrataag.bsky.social, author of MITHAI BOX IS NOT EMPTY, coming this fall.

Each book teaches essential life lesson.
1)Understanding the value of money and how to make choices based on priorities.
2)Where the food comes from?
3) Wishes are more meaningful when they come with thoughtfulness
