WHAT WILL MY STORY BE?

Nidhi Chanani

From the creator of the critically acclaimed graphic novel Pashmina, comes a debut author-illustrated picture book that encourages kids to be their most creative selves and to imagine all the places that their stories can take them.
After spending an afternoon listening to her aunties tell her stories from their pasts, a young girl ruminates on all of the tales that she can create using her imagination and begins to feel as if the possibilities for her future are endless.
Filled with Nidhi Chanani's signature vibrant illustrations, What Will My Story Be? is for anyone who finds inspiration in the quiet moments and cherishes the wisdom of the generations that came before them.

Nidhi Chanani likes to dream kind and creative dreams. She's the author of the graphic novel Pashmina and the bilingual board book Shubh Raatri Dost/Good Night Friend, as well as the illustrator of the picture book I Will Be Fierce. Nidhi draws and dreams in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, child, and cat. Find more of her work at everydayloveart.com.

The book's text is lyrical, whimsical, and inspiring, the vision of interweaving individual and collective stories both accessible and heartwarming. The illustrations of the brown-skinned protagonist and racially diverse aunties are gentle and playful. Wisely counsels looking to our past to find our future.

[A] delightful tribute to the important role aunties play in loving and inspiring children... The art is vibrant, whimsical, and sure to draw in readers... Chanani has created an ode to the families we choose.
