This book is just the print copy of the same roller-coaster videos “Arey Pata Hai” where the authors Nipun Jain and Mohit Mamoria trap you with – a curiosity carnival, a trivia treasure chest, and a cheeky reminder that the world is far stranger (and funnier) than we think.
The story opens by introducing the residents of Banian Tree Avenue, a quaint and quiet neighbourhood in Chennai, lined with leafy trees on both sides. When Kannalmozhi and her mother move in, they become the first to set up a fruit stall on the street. Soon, other vendors follow.
The book stars Charred the Bard (a jungle crow) who takes us on a trip across the wildlife parks in India, from Kaziranga in the north east to Lakshadweep in the west.
This inspiring story follows Valarmathi, a twelve-year-old girl living in Theenkulam, dreams of impressing the Science Fair judges with her idea and meeting ISRO scientists.
‘How to be happy with who you are’ is about a your princess who gets influenced by a few friends and wants to change herself.
