Picture Books take a long time to complete!
Sometimes, a story can take a few weeks to write. Or sometimes, it can take years to finish! And after the words are written, the artist has to create the pictures. That process can take months or years as well.
Long story short, there are a lot of Sudipta’s stories that will be books, just not for a little while yet. But we’re excited about them anyway!
