Sneha Pradhan: Kathmandu-raised author of Yelp! Yeti! Chaos in Kathmandu; a fast, funny graphic reader bursting with Nepali culture for ages 5 to 9.

Sneha Pradhan is a children's author who grew up in Kathmandu, Nepal. In this corpus she writes Yelp! Yeti! Chaos in Kathmandu, a bright, high-energy graphic reader (illustrated by Promina Shrestha) in which a loose Yeti trashes the family home and young Dev takes the blame, a fast, funny caper with a mischievous cat sidekick set against the sights of Nepal. Nepali words are woven throughout with friendly footnotes on meaning and pronunciation, making the book both a joyful comic romp and a welcoming window onto a place many young readers won't have met in a story before. A lively new voice in early graphic fiction for ages 5 to 9, strong on humour, family and cultural warmth.
