Gurmeet Kaur

She has authored and published the book series ‘Fascinating Folktales of Punjab’, the first bilingual, illustrated book series that has created a new wave of interest in children’s literature on Punjab.

A mother of two, Gurmeet switched from her twenty-five years long software engineering career to being a full-time author, publisher, and activist for Punjab and the Punjabi language. Gurmeet and her daughter Liv Kaur will be sharing a folktale from their book series.

She has been a community activist and a columnist for sikhchic.com for several years.
