It’s been just two months since my book Festival
Stories Through The Year has come out and the reviews have started pouring in. It
feels really great when readers search for me on Facebook and tell me that not
just their kids but even they loved my book.
One of the very first review was a poetic review by a
ten-year-old girl Naysa Punhani. I was touched that a child has gone out of her
way to write a poetry on my book. Naysa has captured the essence of the story
in her review which her mother Sonia Bareja a story-teller, shared with me.
Here is the review by that child.
I felt elated when Toka Box did a small review and
included my book in the 7 must read festival books. This review too has
captured the colour of my stories. Here is Toka Box's review.
An American writer I have admired a lot (I have read
her wonderful books) has reviewed my book on her blog. The fact that she went
out of her way to buy my book in America and reviewed it so meticulously has
completely overwhelmed me. That amazing lady is Elizabeth Varadan, author of The
Carnival of Animals (13 tales based on Camille Saint- Saens’ Musical Classic),
Dragonella, Imogene and the Case of the Missing Pearls and The Fourth Wish. Do
visit her blog to read her super review and while you are visiting do yourself
a big favour and follow her (if you aren’t already following her). Here is Elizabeth's review.
