"I am so grateful to my fellow storytellers, Vivek Kamath, @shabnamminwalla and @tanvibhat.draws, who with their wonderful ideas, inputs and imagination helped bring our first book to life.. Fingers crossed for this journey ahead. You can now find the books available online, and in major bookstores," Alia wrote alongside her picture holding the book.

Described as a picture book on "caring for the planet and friendship with pets", Ed Finds A Home is published by Puffin Books India, the children's imprint of Penguin Books India.
