Women's Day is around the corner and the posts celebrating the "greater s*x, naari-shakti, devi power and diva glow" have started pouring in. If you are like me and have reached the end of your tether, it is time to read Out in the Moonlight written by Perumal Murugan and illustrated by Ashok Rajagopalan. Out in the Moonlight is the adaptation of a chapter from Murugan's book Thondra Thunai, translated into English as Amma. The story is based on the author's recollection of his mother's life and how she would tell him about an incident from a time when he was ten months old. In the story, we see his mother worried about pending work on the farm and how she seizes the opportunity to work extra on a night lit up by moonlight. She takes her 10-month-old and her five-year-old sons to the field, ensures they are comfortable and works through the night. While reading this book I was struck by how much you learn simply by reading between the lines. You understand this is a small village in Tamil Nadu by the kind of crops that are grown, the way has illustrated the mom and her sari. Snippets of a story my grandma told me about snakes around the karuvelam tree suddenly came alive. You get an in-depth look into the life of a woman caught between family and work and watch as she handles them both with dignity and grace. She is not afraid of putting in the hard work and at the same time she goes the extra mile to make sure her children are well cared for. The book gives kids a look at a life very different from their own. It is calm and peaceful. It makes them curious about moonlit nights on a farm and what it must mean to walk through thick, lush fields worrying about snakes. The illustrations are mind-blowingly beautiful and have the power to transport you to be a part of the story. For me, the mother in the book was living her reality -- is she not the true embodiment of everything you will hear this Women's day? This book is so powerful it will be one of the things you think of the next time you see the moon lighting up the night.

📚 Yesterday morning, over breakfast before school, we delved into this captivating book, reading it in two parts. Today, we continued the journey. 🌅 “Putul and the Dolphins” by Mariam Karim-Ahlawat, with enchanting illustrations by Proiti Roy, published by our beloved Tullika, takes us on a profound exploration of conservation and the delicate balance between humanity and nature. 🌿🐬 Set in a quaint fishing village by the Ganga, the story follows Putul, whose world is upended by a heavy monsoon flood. As the river swells, so do the hopes of the fishermen, but amidst the chaos, Putul finds herself face to face with the majestic Ganga river dolphins. 🌊💫 Caught between survival and empathy, Putul’s actions lead to a compelling narrative that begs the question: In times of desperation, do we prioritize our needs over the well-being of others? 🤔💭 Dive into this thought-provoking tale and discover who ultimately lends a helping hand. 📖✨ The seamless blend of storytelling and exquisite illustrations not only captivates but also sparks essential conversations about our relationship with the environment. 🌍💬 📚✨

#FlipThrough Here is taking a look at the whimsical story of Padma who goes to space and eats moon rocks cereal ! Somewhere in the universe, little children in butterfly-shaped time machines eat scrumptious star-rock salad from Galaxy Stellar 5689, and a volcano erupts fruit juice that freezes into ice-cream! Padma is sure of that — because that's what it says in her book. How books give wings to imagination, how flights of fantasy can be as real as the world around… that’s what this delightful story is about. The pictures cheerfully follow Padma’s journey to space and back. Written by Swetha Prakash and illustrated by Shreya Sen Padma Goes To Space is now available on www.tulikabooks.com
