Gitti's Story - Earth

Gitti the rock is very old. After a long, long journey that started from the boiling hot centre of the earth, he now sits quietly on a mountain, watching the sun rise and set. What is his story?

This is one of five books that are perfect for a child's first look at science, because they were born as pictures. In a classroom project with Srishti, Bengaluru, design students were asked to visualise five sets of scientific facts on different topics. And they did through the fantasy adventures of Bhoomi, Boondi, Dhooli, Gitti and Beeji, which draw young children into science and introduce basic concepts about the world we live in. The stunning pictures convey the beauty, vastness and mystery of nature, enriching the storytelling experience. At the end of each book is a summing up of facts related to the stories.
