Journey through India and explore its incredible diversity in this richly illustrated book. Written by award-winning author Jasbinder Bilan with detailed artwork by Nina Chakrabarti, this is a joyful celebration of India and its vibrant culture and fascinating history. The book divides India by region, expertly capturing India' s unique mix of the modern and the traditional, exploring its geography, its food, its customs and its stunning landmarks - from the skyscrapers of New Delhi to the banks of the holy river Ganges. Containing a delightful mix of friendly, informative text and colourful illustrations, the information is framed within a story about a little girl and her grandmother giving the reader a personal introduction to an incredible country.
[. . . ]in her first nonfiction title, Bilan celebrates India' s people and places, revealing what makes the country so special and vibrant. -- Charlotte Eyre * The Bookseller *
Jasbinder Bilan was born in a stable in the foothills of the Himalayas that had been in her family for generations. Her debut novel Asha and the Spirit Bird won the prestigious Costa Children' s Book Award and The Times Chickenhouse Fiction Prize. Jasbinder studied for an MA in Creative Writing at Bath Spa University and now lives near Bath, in England, with her husband, two sons and an adorable dog named Enzo. She works as a teacher and in her free time (when she' s not out walking Enzo), loves writing stories for children. Nina Chakrabarti studied illustration at Central Saint Martin' s College and The Royal College of Art, London. She uses line drawing to explore her love of the decorative arts, inspired by her past in Calcutta, India, where she grew up, and the exuberance of London. She is the author of the bestselling ' My Wonderful World of Fashion' which has been translated into ten languages.
