The Lit Bug Fest 2023

April 7, 2023 by Varsha Seshan

Brought to you by THE STORY STATION, this Pune-based literature festival celebrates creativity and innovation. The theme for Lit Bug 2023 is the environment, and I am going to be there with my book, The Best Idea of All. A story about three girls who find an innovative way to celebrate Holi during the worst drought in decades, it fits perfectly with the theme of the year. We’ll talk about ideas and water scarcity before we make natural colours of our own.
