Subir Shukla first learnt about stories while living and working in a tribal village in central India. He was later with the National Centre for Children's Literature and now works on quality improvement of primary education. Many of the stories he has written were shared with children before taking final shape. Apart from writing The Boy who loved Colour and Radha finds the Circle, both imaginatively wild and evocative, he has translated some of Tulika's titles into Hindi. Recently, he has contributed to Read Aloud Stories.
Radha draws a circle but it keeps running away. Strong pictures entice readers into searching for the circle.
A small boy loves colour and so he paints and paints. Repetition makes language learning easy, and dramatic pictures draw children into a world of colour.
