Book Details
Rain can be fun. But sometimes, “lots and lots and lots of rain” is frightening — when water comes into homes and washes everything away. Floods and other natural calamities do happen, children do get caught in them, and other children see it all on television. How do they make sense of it? The book talks to children through rhythmic, repetitive text and evocative visuals, ending with the important reminder that if you look after nature, nature will look after you. It enables conversations that can heal and empower.

My Upside Down World
- Author Name:
Ken Spillman
- Rating:
- Book Type:
- Description: Big brothers are mean. Big brothers spell trouble. And Big Brothers are not to be trusted, especially if they turn your world upside down. That�s what the protagonist discovers one morning upon waking up. The book�s parallel worlds with their upside-downness and downside-upness weave a fantastic, troubled, creased co-existence, both exasperating and reassuring. Nothing is what it seems like. Read it as a quirky story of squabbling siblings or of something more global, more sinister; each page leaves us peeling multiple layers, especially in a world turned upside down by the pandemic. Ken Spillman adroitly plays around with words and situations both believable and unbelievable, while Silvana Giraldo spins a splendidly broken-but-beautiful world to bring alive a somewhat Orwellian dystopia into this picture book.

- Book Type:
- Description: हाथियों की टोली में जो बूढ़ा हाथी होता है सबसे पीछे चलता है और गहरी यादें ढोता है। Haathiyon ki Toli is an illustrated poem book written by the National Award winning writer-lyricist, Varun Grover. The poem captures the essence of life and relationships through keen observations on elephants’ way of life. We are all bound by the thread of love. This thread is most visible in childhood, in those carefree moments lived in the protection of adults. The thread strengthens as we grow older yet it’s presence loses its significance for us. This poem reassures children of the love that surrounds them while it reminds adults to take notice of this bond that gives us freedom to be ourselves. Gunjan Bharati's illustrations give us a feeling as if we are looking at an elephant up close. We can look into its big, deep eyes and feel what he is saying. His wrinkles are the folds of experiences, if only we caress them.
