Praba Ram is the co-founder of Saffron Tree, a site dedicated to reviewing children's books from the India and the US, particularly those with a strong multicultural thrust. For Tulika, Praba has co-authored Dinaben and the Lions of Gir and Bijoy and the Big River along with long-time friend Meera Sriram who is the other half of Saffron Tree. Passionate about children's books, Praba also enjoys traveling and dreaming over steaming cups of chai.
The Maldharis and the lions have coexisted peacefully for many years. Informative text and evocative photographs capture the many facets of life in the Gir forest of Gujarat.
Can you taste with your toes? Or see with your ears? Or, at least, smell with your hair? No? Well, there are creatures around you that can!
Bijoy is from a small village in Assam close to the Brahmaputra. His mother is a silk weaver. One day, Bijoy goes on his first visit to the golden silk village, Sualkuchi.
