Book Description
Come crawl under the story quilt and get enveloped in the warmth and colour of a beautiful patchwork of regional children's stories.
Meet the ghost who longs to use a computer; the smart thief who is - outsmarted by his travel companion; the girl who dreams of playing cricket; and even a runaway scooter!
This delightful collection of eight children's stories includes translations from Assamese, Gujarati, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Maithili, Punjabi and Sindhi. And adding to its charm are the beautiful illustrations that showcase the popular ar
style of each of these regions.
