Nidhi Chanani

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 and, most recently, Binny’s Diwali, written by Thrity Umrigar. Nidhi draws and dreams in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, child, and cat.


Purchase Binny’s Diwali from Green Bean Books, one of our Portland-based, independent bookstore partners HERE.

Events, Classes, and Seminars

Our events, classes, and seminars bring the community together to hear, learn, and discuss the most compelling issues and ideas of our day. We hope you will join us in our downtown Literary Arts space, online, and at partnering venues across Portland and Oregon.
