About The Author
Srividhya Venkat
Srividhya Venkat hopped, skipped, and jumped careers before finding her most cherished one-writing for children. She has published several picture books, including Dancing in Thatha’s Footsteps, which won the 2022 South Asia Book Award, and The Clever Tailor, which won the 2019 SCBWI Crystal Kite Award. Having grown up in India and lived in three countries, Srividhya loves stories that are unique yet universal. Just like Anila’s challenge with skateboarding, Srividhya has her own with swimming, which she continues to work on. And she also loves kulfi!
Kate Wadsworth’s primary choice of wheels is a bike, and she spent her childhood riding around her hometown of Kailua, on the island of O’ahu, Hawaii, where she currently lives and works as an illustrator and graphic designer. She earned her BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, and she has worked with a variety of local and international clients, including Vans Triple Crown of Surfing and the Sony Open in Hawaii. Girls on Wheels is her first picture book.
