Yogita Amonkar is a Dubai-based children’s author, educator and avid traveller, and the creator of Zimmi Zoomz in the World of Wonder. With more than 25 years of teaching experience in Dubai and Hong Kong, and travels that have taken her to all seven continents, she brings together her love of exploring the world and her passion for inspiring young minds. Her stories follow Zimmi, a curious little meerkat who sets off on adventures with Ray and Tara, characters inspired by Yogita’s twins, and their teacher, Ms. Jodie, inspired by a dear friend and former colleague. Interactive features such as Find It, Count It, Guess It, and Say It invite children to join each journey. Drawing on her classroom experience, Yogita offers engaging, curriculum-linked author visits that weave storytelling into school themes, from National Day and Environment Day to everyday learning. Through Zimmi, she hopes to nurture curiosity, spark a love of reading, and encourage children to explore the wonderful world around them.
