Meet the Author

Welcome! I’m Karthica Tharmalingam, an early childhood educator and author, thrilled to embark on this journey with you. Inspired by the need for diverse literature, I set out to create a children's book that celebrates the Tamil community and the rich traditions of tea time shared across cultures. My debut book, Tea Time, reflects this vision and aims to inspire young readers to cherish connections with family and friends.

NOOL, was established to empower children, emphasizing the crucial role caregivers play in this journey. We are committed to reaching out to members of the community to provide support for families, creating a network of resources and guidance. Our focus is on identifying simple yet effective ways to reconnect with ourselves and our children, fostering meaningful relationships that nurture growth and resilience. Together, we can create a vibrant community where every child can thrive. Many exciting projects on the horizon, stay tuned for what’s to come!
