Shamim Padamsee, a bird-loving
author, cleverly casts actual bird species with their
distinctive
looks and features. And the plot isn’t just a smart take on
filmy business. It also makes a
statement, serves up drama and a surprise ending... even
before the superhit film is made!
Ashok Rajagopalan’s art with ‘attitude’ and Shamim’s hilarious
text, capture the glamour,
the humour and the action for over the top movie magic! |

That’s what teachers and
children can do with Dots and Lines: a teaching
resource for art, by Tarit Bhattacharjee. The latest
in the Tulika Teacher Resource series, this one works
well as a handbook for anybody interested
in understanding basic art concepts.
Through a series of
exercises and activities born out of actual classroom
experiments and observations, the book will help
nurture an
artistic temper in children by opening up their eyes
and minds so their
hands can create freely.
Trained at Shantiniketan,
Kala Bhavan, Tarit is an art teacher of
many years standing at The School, KFI, Chennai.
Nomita Khatri compiled and designed the book while
interning with Tulika, as part of her diploma project
for the Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology,
Bangalore. |

Two of our finest books,
And Land was Born and A Tree in My Village are
now available in
paperback editions.
And Land Was Born
is a creation story that celebrates the unfettered nature
of the
oral tradition. Uma Krishnaswamy’s splendid pictures add
visual magic to the joyous, playful
irreverence of Sandhya Rao’s text.
In A Tree in My
Village, renowned painter Paritosh Sen’s elegant,
vividly painted words
match the exuberance and delicacy of his pictures to offer
an experience of art and life through encounters with
nature. By recording the variety of bird, animal and
insect life in and around
the Arjuna tree in his village, he reveals precious
aspects of ecology: the chain of life and the
interdependence of all living things. Both the books bring
words and pictures together in their
own unique ways.
