Raj Haldar

Raj Haldar is the author of the #1 New York Times Bestselling picture book, 'P is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever.' But, for close to a decade, the Philadelphia based rapper, producer, and multi-instrumentalist has been better known for his critically-praised music under the moniker Lushlife. In that time he has amassed a fervent global fanbase across the world and released award-winning viral music videos that highlight his erudite lyrics. The Sunday New York Times describes his work as “an intoxicating mix of captivating rhymes with audacious, gorgeous production.” So it should come as no surprise that Haldar is making the leap into the world of children’s literature. His work has been featured by The Washington Post, Interview Magazine, VICE, Pitchfork, Village Voice, Mental Floss, BBC, SPIN and more.
