An
endlessly entertaining cumulative tale from Kerala about
Eecha the fly and her friend Poocha the cat. They make
delicious rice soup. While Eecha flies off to fetch a
jackfruit leaf with which to spoon out the soup, Poocha
watches over the pot. But Poocha is hungry, so hungry.
Aaaah.....! Children will love the lilting cadence of
the text. The illustrations take on a special quality,
almost like moving pictures.

AND
LAND WAS BORN
by
Sandhya Rao art
Uma Krishnaswamy
It has been a bit of a wait but
this favourite Tulika hardback is now on the shelves as an
attractive paperback!
And Land Was Born
is a story from the Bhilala tribe who live in central India.
The fantasy element in the story reflects the unfettered
nature of the oral tradition. This book brings together
picture and word in the spirit of that freedom and
celebration.
In the beginning, the Bhilalas believe, there was only water.
The harassed and wet subjects beg their lazy god to create
land so that they can get dry and stay that way. Poor god is
put to all sorts
of trouble before this wish can be granted.
