This book comprises stories from Southeast Asia, South Asia and East Asia, written especially for young adults. This specially curated anthology of short stories from Asia explores the human spirit and lives of the common man separated by time, space and culture, and yet united in the human spirit to overcome the difficulties that they face in life. It provides an insight into the rich and diverse landscape of Asia, as well as heritage and cultural practices. It also challenges pre-conceived notions of biases and beliefs about other cultures and opens up room for discussion on the differences that define the human race. A Tapestry of Colours 1 provides a platform for readers to develop global awareness of the landscape and the people of Asia.
