Saumiya Balasubramaniam's debut picture book, When I Found Grandma, illustrated by Qin Leng, was featured in the Globe and Mail ("Seven books to help kids make sense of the world") and by the CBC ("Kids books to look for in 2019"). It was described by Publishers Weekly as a "subtle, heartfelt story." Saumiya lives in Toronto.

And in the end, her joy is contagious. Home is where family is, after all"--
