Description:

When a little boy travels with his Daddy to Moira, a sleepy little village tucked away in Goa, something unexpected happens — Daddy turns into a child again. Walking past coconut groves, sunlit fields and dusty pathways, he begins to share warm, golden memories of his own boyhood: scrumptious Moira bananas plucked straight off the trees, splashy adventures, and the lovely old well that once kept the whole orchard alive. But things have changed. The bananas are gone, the well is forgotten, and a quiet sense of loss seeps through Daddy's stories. Through the curious eyes of a son who slowly comes to understand his father's heart, this charming early-reader from acclaimed Indian writer Jerry Pinto, brought vividly to life by Lavanya Naidu's joyful illustrations, gently celebrates roots, family memories and the magic of village India.
