A heartwarming story about books, and what they mean to those who don’t have them * Set in Gurez, an isolated village in Kashmir at the Line of Control between India and Pakistan, it softly hints at Partition and conflict * Being a film-writer too, author Adithi Rao has a strong visual sense that pervades her work * Affectionate and stylised pictures by Kashmiri illustrator Ghazal Qadri are flavoured with a sense of the place and the gentle spirit of its people *
Why I like this book: this book shows the diversity of Indians and talks about the Partition in a child appropriate way.
