Description:

It's Sunday — a fun day! In this lively, rhyming picture book, Mummy and her friends gather in the neighbourhood for a thrilling game of street cricket. Set to the beat of the beloved childhood chant "Akkad Bakkad," the playful verses carry readers ball by ball through the excitement of the match, celebrating sport, friendship, community, and the simple joy of women coming together to play. Illustrated by Pankaj Saikia and published by Pratham Books, the book bursts with energy and colour, making it wonderful to read aloud and chant along to. It gently flips the usual script by putting mums front and centre on the pitch — a cheerful nod to sportsmanship and the idea that everyone, of every age, deserves a turn at the crease.
