“Let’s play house-house!” decide Sunehri and her friends. So they put together some old plates and bowls, empty packets of chips, plastic bottles, a broken helmet… things they’ve collected going about their work in the city on whose streets they live. The game loved by children everywhere takes on a poignant layer when played by those who have never known a home¬. Pictures full of exuberance and detail bring out their spontaneous joy in a make-believe world, which trips side by side with the harsh reality of their lives. 2019: Best of Indian Children's Writing: Contemporary Award

Finally, what appealed to me the most was the connection and cooperation all the characters shared. It is beautiful to witness them running around collecting things, all just to create a home for themselves!The Book Review
