Book One:
One day, Grandmother is about to tell Chikki and Gagan a story when Avneet aunty comes to visit. She is very talkative, so Chikki and Gagan start playing and they knock Avneet aunty’s mobile phone down. It breaks. Now what will happen?
Book Two:
This simple bilingual book introduces beginner readers to a less-known part of India – Sikkim. Rising mountains, Buddhist monastery, Sardarji truck-driver… so typical, and painted with a keen and affectionate eye.
Book Three:
A farmer is working in the field. It is a very hot day and the farmer quickly gets tired. “It’s all your fault!” he shouts at the sun. The sun feels hurt and goes away. It does not return and there is darkness all around. Finally, it takes a rooster’s trick to bring the sun back into the sky. This engaging story is based on a folktale of the Ao tribe in Nagaland.
