Book Details
ADITI ADVENTURES - MEETING GRENDEL
- Author Name:
Suniti Namjoshi
- Rating:
- Book Type:
- Description: Looking for a Deep Rose that may make Aditi’s grandmother feel better, the adventurers go to the coast of Devon in England. There they meet the little boy Grendel who lives under the sea, prowls around at night scaring others, can’t remember anything and doesn’t care about it. Re-casting ‘monster’ characters from the Beowulf story, the author wonders if what we see depends on how we see it. Do stories make you look at things differently? Could you be you today, if you didn’t remember who you were yesterday?

Richa Jha delivers a strong statement through the simplicity of children’s voices, presenting a kaleidoscope of vastly different mothers who don’t fit the stereotypical narratives of motherhood. Priya Sebastian’s bold, charcoal-etched images infuse the simple narrative with an arresting depth to capture the diverse beauty of each portrayal.
Aai and I

Mamta Nainy
- Rating:
- Book Type:
- Description: Aadya looks just like her mother (Aai) same little nose, same delicate ears, same big eyes and identical thick, long hair. But one day, Aai goes away to a big hospital with a promise to return before she learns her next Math lesson. The long-awaited return shocks Aadya because her mother now looks entirely unlike her. She wonders if Aai will ever greet her with her usual cheery, "Hello! Mini-me." Or will She have to take matters into her own hands to hear that again? With lyrical prose and a tender touch, Aai and I is an empowering story about the bond between a mother and a daughter and of the little one finding her own identity as she no longer 'looks' the same as her mother. Mamta Nainy captures Elan Aadya's innocence, impatience, and dilemma, and Sanket Pethkar's vibrant, gorgeous artwork brings to life the nuanced see-saw of the child's emotions in this Maharashtrian household.
