A heart-warming story about a girl’s love for the neighbour’s rooster. The scenes from Muthu’s life in a fishing village and her despair at losing the rooster one day are charmingly presented. The illustrations are superb and the girl and the rooster come across as distinct characters. A layered story about an Irula girl and her fight to save her pet rooster.
This heart-warming story has an underlying spirit of resilience and love. The book indeed feels like the dried rose petals that Deidi, Amiya’s grandmother, preserved within the pages of a book. The story of Deidi flows gently through the book, shared over a cup of noon chai. The book is a reminder that a story is waiting to be told and a book waiting to be written by each of us if only we care to look, listen and write.
