What I love the most about the Farmer Falgu series, is that-
1. They have the capacity to transport the reader to the rural life in an Indian village!
This book took it a notch up for me. Be it the characters, Ahmed Chacha and Pushpa Didi, who hop on to Farmer Falgu's bullock cart for a ride! Or the lovely and bold illustrations of the sunflower fields or the kites flying ... every page that you turn, brings with it an actual village scene perfectly. Picture book lovers, young and old are sure to admire and enjoy this experience.
My seven year old and I loved this scene from the book. What a spread!
2. The other aspect I loved is that Farmer Falgu is by nature a problem fixer!
Farmer Falgu does not worry, and his positive attitude immediately rubs off on his daughter - as you will find in this book. A subtle message to us, not be a worry wart and whine about problems! Every problem has a solution and can be fixed. That I guess, makes him a great role model for kids!
Farmer Falgu Goes Kite Flying is the Toka Explorer Book pick for the Month of April, where kids learn to build and fly an Outdoor Kite using
A beautifully written tale by Chitra Soundar, the book has equally beautiful and colorful illustrations by Kanika Nair that capture the spirit of this kite-flying adventure perfectly. Kids will love to turn each page and keep turning, to see what is coming next!
