Synopsis

From the author of Stories for South Asian Supergirls comes a powerful new collection celebrating the incredible achievements of 50 remarkable figures from across South Asia. This beautifully illustrated book brings to life the empowering stories of individuals from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan, both famous and under-celebrated, who have each made their mark on the world.

Children across the South Asian diaspora will find role models who reflect their heritage, culture, and aspirations. This collection goes beyond the limited stereotypes often seen in mainstream media, encouraging young readers to dream big and write their own stories.

Meet game-changing business leaders like Bela Bajaria, Payal Kadakia, and Sharmadean Reid. Be inspired by entertainers such as Freddie Mercury and Riz Ahmed, and dive into the works of award-winning authors including Khaled Hosseini, Satnam Sanghera, and Salman Rushdie. Discover the courage and creativity of non-binary artist Alok V. Menon, the culinary brilliance of Asma Khan, and the ground-breaking legacy of model Yasmeen Ghauri.

Each story is brought to life with striking portraits by ten international South Asian artists. This book is more than a collection—it is a celebration of heritage, identity, and the boundless potential of young readers.

Perfect for fans of Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls, this heartwarming and inclusive volume makes an ideal gift for readers of all ages.
