and Bh
d Bhutan’s capital city. I lik d i when D ji
’ i l i liked it h Dorji
showed everybody that he could stand on his
head. I liked his dog Domchu. It sounds like a
funny name. Domchu looks very cute. I liked
y y
the Tiger’s Nest in Paro.”

4. “The genius of Balsavar's book is in her
characterisation of the king and queen. They
g q y
are ordinary people like you and me, who
cook, clean, go to work, entertain friends at
home, read books, sip a cup of tea when
tired,
tired check email, and wear simple clothes ”
email clothes.”

5. “…some serious issues have been
addressed in extremely clever ways and
y y
they drive home the points beautifully. I
am very glad topics as diverse as eunuchs,
periods, sex and sexist attitudes have all
been t h d ”
b touched.”

6. “A BOOK that is powerful and yet an effective
story of women who have learnt to adapt to
earth shaking
earth-shaking events in their lives - having
been displaced, time and again, from their
homes. A BOOK that makes its statement
clearly and simply, both in words and pictures,
having
h i text that i b

narrative style embroidery.”

9. “…not everyday do you come across
an Auto that can bend its handles,
talk to the wind and even turn into a
subatomic particle!”
particle!

10. “…a book that’s meant to make you
smile. Filled with simple illustrations, it’s
a visual delight that concerns itself with
the various roles a tree has to play in our
daily lives.”

11. “There is something irresistible about the
book,.. Sometimes it's the turn of a
phrase, sometimes it's the shape and
contours of Advaita's mind, sometimes it
is the clash of the adult world and the
adolescent world, but always it is there.
That something which makes you want to
reread and relive the story.”

12. “Mixing the old and the new is always a
tricky affair. Oluguti Toluguti, a carefully
handpicked selection of vintage rhymes
presented in a contemporary form is a
winner. And yes, thanks to Tulika for this
chemma chekka, charming new
children's book!”

13. “...a marvelous job. This is how children's
book should be presented.”
