Tour the diverse regions of an incredible country in a vivid, joyful,
and visually stunning introduction to the people, places, flora, and
fauna of India.
Watch elephants bathing from a houseboat in Kerala, marvel at ancient
cave paintings in Bhimbetka, wander Delhi's bustling streets, and ride a
train through the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas. In spread after
colorful spread, India's breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and
cultural splendor leap to life on the page, framed by the story of a
little girl named Thara and her grandmother. In a carved wooden trunk,
Nanijee keeps mementos collected from all over India, each with a story
to tell. Readers can follow along page by page with Thara or dip in at
any point to discover something new about India's many and varied
regions--from vibrant religious festivals, food, and crafts to sports
and wildlife to Bollywood and a hidden sculpture garden filled with
life-size figures. A warm, welcoming tone and exquisitely patterned
endpapers help make this an intimate keepsake to pore over and treasure.
A companion book to the award-winning Africa, Amazing Africa by
Atinuke and Mouni Feddag, this is narrative nonfiction at its finest.
