Deepa Balsavar, author and illustrator of Nani’s Walk to the Park, and author of Achoo!, took these two Big Books to a bunch of children in Mumbai. The bigger books just meant bigger fun, as you can see at two different sessions. The first was at Akshara School, Kandivli on December 19, followed by one on December 20 with children from more than 30 visiting schools at Caterpillars, the Lodha International School Literary Festival at Thane.
At Akshara School, the children had a ball following Nani along the lovely lanes of friendship, happiness and beauty as Deepa read out the story to them! Next, they tried to help the curious monkey find out what exactly how an elephant sneezing would sound – as it turns out, it’s a little bit like Achoo!
Nani’s Walk to the Park, and Achoo! are both available on the Pratham Books e-store in English and Hindi. Read them now on StoryWeaver.
