It's 2020 and children are stuck indoors as the novel coronavirus finds
its way into India. A nationwide lockdown is announced and amidst the
growing crisis, Ajja and Ajji welcome their grandchildren and Kamlu Ajji
into their house in Shiggaon.
From stitching masks, sharing household chores, preparing food for
workers to losing themselves in timeless tales, the lockdown turns into
a memorable time for the children as they enter the enchanting world of
goddesses, kings, princesses, serpents, magical beanstalks, thieves,
kingdoms and palaces, among others. The myriad stories told by their
grandparents become the biggest source of joy, making the children
compassionate, worldly-wise and more resilient than ever.
Following the trail of the best-selling Grandma's Bag of Stories,
India's favourite author Sudha Murty brings to you this collection of
immortal tales that she fondly created during the lockdown period for
readers to seek comfort and find the magic in sharing and caring for
others. Wonderfully woven in her inimitable style, this book is
unputdownable and perfect for every child's bookshelf!
