Hi. I’m Priya. I like to figure out how things work — not just the science kind of things, but the storytelling kind and the making-stuff kind too. A book is a kind of experiment. So is a recipe. So is a painting. So is catching a lizard in the backyard, gently, and then letting it go. If you pay attention to the small parts, the big parts start to make sense.

These guides are for anyone who wants to know a little more about a lot of things. You don’t have to be a grown-up to be smart about the world. You just have to pay attention, be kind, and ask the question even when you think the answer is obvious. The question is never the obvious part. That’s the whole secret. Start there and you’ll be surprised how far you can go before lunch.
