MumsandStories reviews 'Just like Papa'

Excerpts from the review: 

"Just like Papa is a heart warming tale for kids. The child at home immediately picked up to read it at once looking at the title."

"The book beautifully explains what one can do with perseverance or what it means to ‘follow your heart’. Imagination and even the mind block is discussed in a way that is understandable for kids."

Just like Papa by Nandita da Cunha

A special storytelling session

Stories with Seema shared this lovely update after a session with The Miracle on Sunderbaag Street 

"The Miracle on Sunderbaag Street, written by Nandita da Cunha, illustrated by Priya Kuriyan and published by Kalpavriksh is one of those rare gems that just has to be shared. 

 A delightful book of a young girl who sits alone every evening, in a dump yard on Sunderbaag Street until one day her old eccentric craft teacher disturbs her solitude but ends up planting an amazing idea!! This sets them off on a mission that changes her life… and the lives of many who live on Sunderbaag Street. 

A beautiful story that delves on loss, sadness, recycling, trash to treasure environment, community and much much more..... 

Needless to say, the kids loved the story and it's characters like Zara, the little girl, the uber cool 😎 Tod Phod Gang and of course could not help gushing at the adorable Mrs. Gappi🥰 

A day well spent sharing stories, art work especially those from trash. (More of that in the next post😁)"

"Just like Papa" reviewed on Bookedforlife

"It is natural for young children to idolise parents. They may even dream of being just like them! But, every child also goes through the journey of discovering who they are. Their intrinsic qualities, like and dislikes are unique to them. How can parents gently lead their kids to discover themselves? This is the poignant theme that runs through this apparently simple book, titled Just Like Papa (Tota Books)" 

"A good addition to your picture book collection!"
