New Deal: Karma is Action

Kate Fletcher at Candlewick has acquired NAMASTE IS A GREETING author Suma Subramaniam‘s KARMA IS ACTION, a picture book text paired with illustrator Lavanya Naidu’s visual narrative. The story explores and explains the deeply meaningful—and sometimes misunderstood or appropriated—concept of karma to a young audience. Publication is slated for spring 2027; Miranda Paul at Erin Murphy Literary Agency did the deal for world rights on behalf of the author, Aliza Hoover at the CAT agency negotiated on behalf of the artist.
