E51: Sharing Untold Stories: Lion of the Sky by Ritu Hemnani

On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Ritu Hemnani about her debut middle novel in verse: Lion of the Sky. It’s an incredible historical novel about the British Partition of India. 

This book was such an experience. It often stopped me in my tracks and took my breath away as I savored the beauty of the words and the emotion on the page.

Come listen as we talk about the book and how the idea for it was born, the beautiful language I couldn’t wait to lift off the page and the powerful messages that every reader will find an entry point into. 

You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here: https://www.alitlife.com/2024/08/12/sharing-untold-stories-lion-of-the-sky-by-ritu-hemnani/
