This World Food Day, feed your imagination with some of Parag’s books around food, the conversations it fosters and the things it makes us do!
The Grand Chapati Contest
Author: Asha Nehemiah
Illustrator: Chetan Sharma
Publisher: Duckbill
Here’s a book for early readers to get hooked. Author Asha Nehemiah spins a rib-tickling tale around the competition to make the fluffiest – puffiest chapati for the king whose chief chapati cook has quit his job to ‘become a Holy Man’.
A team in complete synergy, both author and illustrator bring us a witty wacky story. Chetan Sharma deems fit to show the bejewelled queen in overalls who is ‘busy repairing the big clock’ and ‘designing a new fountain in the royal garden,’ and has ‘no intention of ever making a chapati.’ Ride along with Meena doing the sales talk in Appa’s cart, while Amma’s chapatis puff off a hot stove. Will it please the king’s palate with so many other fancy contestants?
This book is part of the Parag Honour List 2022.

Noon Chai and a Story
Author: Adithi Rao
Illustrator: Ghazal Qadri
Publisher: Tulika Publishers
In Gurez, there are no storybooks. Only lots and lots of snow! When The Uncle From Far Away shows her class a storybook with beautiful pictures, little Amiya is wonderstruck. Now they must build a library, he tells them.
But how? Well, Amiya knows that Deidi, her grandmother, has many stories in her old-old eyes. And so, over steaming cups of pink noon chai and buttery kulchas, Deidi begins, Amiya writes, her sister draws, and another book is born!
Tucked within, is the isolation of a village situated just this side of the Line of Control in Kashmir, and the hint of conflict. But the affectionate and stylised illustrations are flavoured with the gentle spirit of the people. A heart-warming story about books, and what they mean to those who don’t have them.
This book is part of the Parag Honour List 2022.
