My IndiaChildren's Voices from Around the CountryThis book is the fruit of a unique project. Children from
every state were invited to write about their lives and the
state they live in. Their responses showcase the differences
and similarities between the various regions of our country.
Colourful photographs of the children and the simple details
of their everyday life capture the vibrancy and diversity of
India. This book is a great way to find out more about our
country—from those who are growing up in it, and who
look, eat, dress and live so differently from one another.

funeral; the traveller who scares away the cab-driver with
too much caution …
Sometimes funny, sometimes thought-provoking, but
always poignant, the stories in this collection will stay with
you long after you've put the book down.
