What Grief Built: Reinvention, Family Legacy, and Giving Young Voices a Place to Begin
 Prachi Sharma is a Bay Area author and the founder of The Sapling Press, a children's publishing house where every book is written by a young author. Alongside her career as a tech engineer, she founded Sapling Press after losing her mother in 2022, turning grief into a family legacy of storytelling — a journey she explores in her books Manju: A Life of Grit, Grace and Greatness and Paws Around the World. Her writing has appeared in KQED Perspectives, IndiaWest, and The Arunachal Times, and the press has published nine books by seven young authors. |
