What happens when the mysteries of the wild turn into stories that ignite a child’s imagination?

Join us for a special conversation with Arefa Tehsin — writer, storyteller, and author of The Great Indian Safari and Tales from the Wild. From tigers and trails to forgotten corners of the forest, her writing brings alive creatures, habitats, and adventures that make the natural world vivid for young readers.

In conversation with Shashwat DC, Arefa will share her journey as a nature writer — how to weave wonder and wilderness into stories, what it means to write about wildlife for children, and why tales from the wild matter in times of ecological change.

This is part of the Nature Writing for Children series by Azim Premji University — a platform that brings together authors, publishers, educators, and readers to explore how storytelling can reconnect children with the wild, the real, and the urgent.
