Born and raised in India, Devapreya Selvaraj now lives in California with her husband and daughter. She worked as a software engineer before her daughter was born. Witnessing the increasing influence of technology in children’s lives, she felt compelled to write a book that encourages children to participate in socially engaging physical games.

​

"Spinning Monkey and the Missing Eggs" is her debut picture book. It comes with fun games that involve engaging readers with animal movements from the book. The inspiration for this stems from a heartwarming memory of her daughter's toddler years. Animal charts adorned her home, and her daughter would eagerly ask her to lift her up so she could point to each creature; Devapreya would then mimic their movements with pure delight.
