Balachander (Bala) is the father of a 4-year-old boy who demands a new bedtime story every evening. Most stories that Bala comes up with do the job perfectly well - they put his son to sleep in just under 7 minutes. However, on rare occasions, some stories get Bala's son really excited, awake and happy. These stories were narrated several times every evening and soon became a part of the daily routine at home. The author’s book series, ‘Toddlers with Trunks’ is an attempt to share such wonderful stories with many more wonderful kids around the world. Bala grew up in India and now lives in the UK with his beautiful wife and son. When he is not working as a Data Consultant, he loves travelling, eating and story-telling. He also loves it when his son falls asleep in 7 minutes or less!
