The Mahabharatha: A Child\
The Mahabharatha: A Child's View

Twelve year old Samhita Arni's beautifully illustrated version of the Mahabharatha is a bold and fresh re-telling of the great epic. The epic which was earlier in two separate volumes is now available in a single volume.


Written and illustrated by Samhita Arni

The great Indian epic Mahabharatha is a complex tale of ambition, war and destruction. Twelve year old Samhita Arni's version is bold and unorthodox in its depiction of character and in the sharply critical tone it adopts towards the epic's main theme: war. Samhita has illustrated the book herself with intricate line drawings.

Today is my Day
Today is my Day
From her father to her sister to her teachers, people are always telling Tala what to do. Tala plots sweet revenge… but just for today. This wicked and witty story in verse celebrates the child's powers of imagination and fantasy, with eccentric illustrations and innovative typeplay.

Author: ANUSHKA RAVISHANKAR

Illustrator: PIET GROBLER
 
Tala is sick and tired of people always ordering her around: parents, relatives, teachers, sisters – they always seem to know better. Normally she listens to them. Normally. But not today. Today, anyone who tries to boss Tala around is in for quite a surprise…

This wicked and witty nonsense verse tale celebrates the powers of imagination and fantasy. Lively, eccentric art and creative type-play bring to life an irreverent and burlesque world in which all children’s wishes are fulfilled. Today is My Day is a vibrant and unusual collaboration between India’s best nonsense-versifier and one of South Africa’s best-loved illustrators.

Reviews:

Ravishankar’s verse explodes adult pretensions and
absurdities with satisfying, whimsical retribution.
– Michael Heyman, The Horn Book Review

“In this funny and cleverly crafted poem tale Anushka Ravishankar perfectly captures the feelings of a little girl who is thoroughly and completely fed up with being told what to do.”

Anything but a Grabooberry
Anything but a Grabooberry

Letters and words take the form of the images they describe, guiding the reader through a fluid visual space where the words become puzzles.


AUTHOR: Anushka Ravishanka

ILLUSTRATOR: Rathna Ramanathan

This zany and original book, in which the letters and words take the form of the objects they describe. Rendering a child’s freewheeling metamorphic fantasy in nonsense verse, Anything but a Grabooberry showcases creative typography at its innovative best, and shares childrens’ delight in overturning logic.
