Some of the exciting books we discovered towards the end of the year!
The book opens with Lord Vishnu introducing his ten avatars, then gives each one two pages over the next twenty. It’s very simple to read, which makes it a perfect first introduction to the deities for any mythology-loving family.
The author has done a great job breaking down the Gita for young children in this book. She has included some of the more age appropriate ideas and messages of the Gita and stated them in simple language. The accompanying illustrations from Krishna’s life connect to these ideas and messages in subtle ways.
After school a boy plans to visit his father’s office. But between his school and his father’s office flows the river Ramganga. Will he be able to summon the courage to cross it and reach his father?
The story follows Bhim, who is intrigued by all the colourful kites and strings that are covering the city during the annual kite festival. Equally vivid is his depiction of the casteist exclusion of Bhim’s bustee (slum/basti) from the festival.
