When Prashant Pinge is not writing children's fiction, he enjoys working on animation scripts and watching cartoons. At other times, he loves day-dreaming about magical realms and fantastic adventures. In fact, his most ardent desire is to give wings to his readers imagination, to immerse them in worlds they would otherwise never experience.

Prashant lives in Mumbai with his pretty wife, Avantika. But someday, he hopes to build a small wooden cottage, nestled deep inside a mystical forest. And here s a little secret. Prashant has a talking parrot named Raghu (he calls himself that). Other children s books by Prashant are: Avantika's Garden and Naughty Avantika, both published by Leadstart Publishing.
