Nanda Reddy is a Guyanese-American writer, former fourth-grade teacher, and part of an enormous extended family who mostly live in Florida. Her father is one of seventeen siblings; her mom is one of nine; she has over fifty first cousins. They know her as Bobby. In her teaching days, she co-wrote 180 DAYS TO SUCCESSFUL WRITERS, a day-to-day writing curriculum best suited for elementary classrooms. She loves visiting off-the-grid places with her husband and two teenage boys. To clear her mind, she runs or plays with watercolors. But her most favorite thing to do is read! The books listed here are the ones she'd recommend in a heartbeat!
