About The Author
Kennedi Gopalan is a storyteller at heart, working across many forms of expression—writing, cinema, photography, journalism, and philosophy. With a deep belief that stories shape the way we see the world, he approaches storytelling not as entertainment alone, but as a quiet dialogue between imagination and lived experience.
With over two decades of experience as a professional Vedic astrologer, Kennedi has spent years listening—really listening—to people from all walks of life. These encounters have given him a unique sensitivity to human nature, childhood curiosity, and the unseen threads that connect individual lives to larger narratives. His work often reflects this understanding, blending simplicity with depth, especially when writing for children.
Kennedi believes that a child’s first imagination is never small; it is merely the opening sequence of a much larger story waiting to unfold. His children’s writing respects young readers as thinkers and dreamers, capable of profound insight when given space and honesty.
When not writing, Kennedi is involved in filmmaking projects, long-form essays, and mentoring young creatives. He lives in India with his family, drawing inspiration from everyday moments, timeless myths, and the boundless imagination of children—where, he believes, every great story truly begins.

What a delightful read! The short book offers a truly profound reminder for us all – that kindness costs nothing, and that we never become smaller or less by helping those who need us.
