A six year old Romford school girl has already had a poetry book she wrote published, to the joy of her proud parents.
The bright child also wrote a poem about her grandmother, who was unwell at the time, and the book has sold about 200 copies. Taranya’s school, Rush Green Primary, set up a stall to advertise the collection, making her school very proud of her early success.

Kancharla’s mother is thrilled and proud of her daughter after she wrote the My World of Natural collection of 15 poems , a book about lions, a farmer, spiders, and the seasons, in 2021.
Researchers are already showing interest in understanding the source of her passion and imaginative power, in terms of whether it is genetic or environmentally inspired(influenced by her parents or extended family), or both.
Teacher and researcher, Joshua Hopwood, told The Eye Of Media.Com: ”once in a while you come across very young children with amazing accomplishments that make you wonder what is behind their success. Is it natural gifts, or a combination of natural and external qualities?”

With her mother hopeful that the work will soon be published by Amazon International, is Taranya planning a future as a poet or an author?
“Both me and my husband, Suneel, are extremely pleased,” Taranya’s mother Neelima Bojja said. “I am really proud and will do anything to encourage her.”
Neelima said her daughter was an early developer and has enjoyed writing for a long time: “Her vocabulary and writing is amazing.

“Taranya has read a lot, including four Harry Potter books and Winnie the Pooh. It still came out of nowhere, though, and we were aghast when Young Writers asked to publish one of her poems in the British Library in 2020 when Taranya was just five.”

Taranya added to her work while on holiday in India last summer, and it was after reading these latest poems that her mother decided to approach a publisher herself.
“We went to India in August 2021 and she was writing and someone suggested I approach Amazon India.
“By December, the poems were published.”
The book has sold about 200 copies and Taranya’s school, Rush Green Primary, set up a stall to advertise the collection.

“I haven’t spoken to her about it but she reads a lot of books from the school library on how to write well and choose topics and characters,” Neelima said.
Taranya’s mother said she was “excited” about the success of her poems and is now focussing on adding to the work.
“She has recently written three more poems, as well as a short story, and is looking into the topics of flowers, pollution and the human body.
“Taranya says she wants to have another book published!”
