The Churki-Burki
Book of Rhyme
Gita Wolf and Durga Bai
Publ: Tara Books
Churki and Burki are two sisters who lead a happy, busy life in their village with their family.
They spend the day fishing in the river, driving the parrots from the corn field, gathering fruits, and enjoying the outdoors.
A recounting of a charmed childhood, The Churki-Burki Book of Rhyme captures the experience of growing up as a girl in a tribal village in central India.
Illustrated by Durga Bai - the well-known Gond artist - and with text by Gita Wolf, this evocative book straddles the worlds of memory and imagination.
Excuses, Excuses
Anushka Ravishankar (Author), Gabrielle Manglou (Illustrator)
Publ: Tara Books
Late again! What is it now? Chased by a lion? Kicked by a cow?
Meet Neel, who has the most noble intentions, all of which have a funny habit of going wrong … Excuses, Excuses! captures the gleeful childhood dilemma of knowing the importance of rules but delighting in breaking them.
A wildly absurd feast from Anushka Ravishankar, India's best-loved children's poet, and Gabrielle Maglou, zany artist from Réunion Island.
About the Author
One of Tara Books most prolific children's book writers, Anushka Ravishankar has slowly but surely been securing her status as one of the best children's writers of her generation. Her expansive talent shines most brilliantly in her works of nonsense verse – jubilant and artful adaptations of this difficult genre to the cadences of Indian English.
