Description:

Come snuggle beneath the story quilt and wrap yourself in the warmth and colour of a beautiful patchwork of regional tales from across India. Inside you'll meet a ghost who longs to use a computer, a cunning thief who finds himself outsmarted by his own travelling companion, a determined girl who dreams of playing cricket, and even a runaway scooter on the loose! This delightful collection brings together eight charming children's stories, thoughtfully translated from Assamese, Gujarati, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Maithili, Punjabi, and Sindhi. Adding to its richness are gorgeous illustrations that showcase the distinctive folk-art style of each region, turning every story into a little window onto India's diverse cultures. Funny, heartfelt, and brimming with imagination, this anthology is a wonderful way for young readers to discover the many voices and storytelling traditions that make up the country.
