Biography

Children's author, conservationist and creator of the Kindness Is Everything Podcast

Anitha Rao-Robinson received her Bachelor of Commerce from Queen’s University and worked as an accountant for twenty-four years before trading numbers for words. Anitha is passionate about environmental awareness and hopes to continue to spread change through her books and her podcast.

On her podcast, Anitha shares inspiring stories of young people who have been kind to animals, the environment, and people. She hopes these stories show others there is no such thing as an act of kindness that is too small, especially for the animal or person receiving that kindness. For them, it means everything. 

The podcast is available on all podcasting platforms, such as Apple and Google, as well as on her website. 

Anitha is available for school presentations to talk about her books, conservation, kindness, and of course the art and fun of writing.
