Parabjot Singh

Parabjot Singh was born in Vancouver and grew up in Surrey BC. From a young age, she gravitated towards Punjabi. In part, her passion for the language resulted from her grandfather’s influence. Singh’s grandfather, Jarnail Singh Sekha, is an award-winning writer and novelist, and he inspired her interest in Punjabi by reading folk stories to her. In time, Singh herself began writing in Punjabi: stories, essays, and poetry. Singh followed this passion, and pursued a career in teaching the Punjabi language. By publishing a bilingual (English and Punjabi) children’s book based on her childhood pet bird, Singh combines her passion for writing and teaching, using this book to teach students the Punjabi language in an engaging manner.
