In this collection, Amma’s tales flow one into the next seamlessly – you too may fall asleep in the middle of one of them and get another one as a bonus when you wake up! The narrator’s voice is earnest, and the stories paint a vivid picture of Amma’s childhood. The drawings are exquisite and have a dream-like quality where one is not sure where fable ends and truth begins.
A gentle, evocative book about the wonders that hide in the forest and the wise people who live there, this is a book for all ages – a lilting read-aloud for small children, and a fascinating and wonderous experience for older readers. The book invites readers to look at the world with an open mind and an equally open heart.
“Gorgeous illustrations matched with rhythmic nonsense verse that ends up making sense and reaffirms a sense of being comfortable in one’s own body. It is a lot of fun and children will
surely like it.”
