Sandip (Sandy) K. Sodhi is an author and librarian whose journey has been shaped by a lifelong love of stories and a deep commitment to children’s learning. Surrounded by books each day, she discovered that stories are not only a source of imagination but also powerful tools for teaching kindness, resilience, curiosity, and empathy. Her work as a librarian allows her to connect children with books that speak to their experiences, while her writing gives her the opportunity to create those meaningful stories herself. Through storytelling, classroom visits, and library programs, she gently guides young readers toward understanding important lessons about life, values, and self-confidence. Her dual role as both author and librarian reflects her belief that books can inspire children to grow not only as readers, but as thoughtful and compassionate individuals.
