Oh-oh! Ammama’s sari has a hole in it! So she gets down to some snipping and stitching. And the sari becomes a pretty curtain, a snug baby-sling, a perfect plaything for the cat... Niveditha Subramaniam’s stunningly textured cloth collages weave through the pages of this wordless picture book with the touch and feel of the sari. To her, they evoke comfortable sensory memories of her own Ammama — the grandmother for whom upcycling was as natural as being in a sari.

Paper Chor
- Author Name:
Varun Grover +1
- Rating:
- Book Type:
- Description: Varun Grover's magical language has impressed many youngsters. With this book, one could add children also to the list of his admirers. Seven stories. Mystery, thrill, wonder, and dreams- his language retains the same magical quality in all genres. At times, he writes so little that the ideas seem to have trickled down to the tip of the language. Then there is no space for anything else. He tells a story in a way that it seems he has become one with the audience. Therefore, you keep finding yourself in the company of a reader. Not once does his descriptions of events and people become judgemental. This is an incredible feat. He just keeps feeding our curiosities. He does not create suspense to suddenly interest the reader with a mystery. Instead, he lets the mystery unfold, which creates the space for the story to move forward. Chandramohan Kulkarni's illustrations enrich the reader's experience.

Ponsudana Muthuraj
A beautiful wordless picture book about reusing the torn sari of ammama. The pictures are so beautiful and it is illustrated in forms of fabric. The main theme of this book is reusing the sari as window curtains to baby sling to cat toy and dool dress was beautiful shown. As there are no words we can narrate the story in our desired launguage to our children. This book will help in improving the vocabulary of the children also. The story could be easily understood by seeing the pictures in the book. I got this for my 8 months old baby, he enjoyed the story and pictures. But he wants to grab and bite it. I wish Tulika could have made it as a board book instead of a paperback. Also a sensory element of the sari with real fabric will be ideal for babies.
