Maharani the Cow (English)

Author : Christy Shoba Sudhir
Illustrator : Nancy Raj

Lined up on a street are noisy motorbikes, honking cars, crowded buses, impatient autos... In their midst sits a queenly Maharani! At the heart of this funny little vignette is a cool-as-a-cucumber cow, an all too familiar character of an Indian streetscape. Nancy Raj’s full-of-life pictures bustle with detail and drama, capturing the bovine and the boisterous as everyone tries to unseat her highness.

Situations made infinitely more entertaining

Nancy Raj's observational details – be it the nonchalance of the cow and its antics or the mayhem caused by children in a school bus – make every situation infinitely more entertaining. From The Hindu Young World-Goodbooks Award 2018 citation

Bursting with drama and detail

The illustrations in this book are truly masterly – each page is bursting with drama and detail, till one can almost imagine themselves in that scorching heat… - "The Book Review"

Charming streetscape artworks

Maharani, an irresistibly “cool-as-a-cucumber” metro cow has decided to plonk herself on the road, and that too, right in the middle of a typically traffic-heavy city road. Well, what follows is a series of side-splittingly funny scenes as pedestrians, a policeman, school children, and auto drivers try tonudge Maharani to move.Saffrontree.org
