Five Charming Stories from India, for Children Everywhere
Welcome into these beautiful little worlds of animals and birds, and all other things, as they live out their lives in the human context, reflecting all the good and the bad of man's nature, ultimately reverting to their pristine innocence. Listen to what all of them have to say, ask, think or do as they express themselves in their own gentle ways. Listen to the sea, the clouds, the raindrops, the gentle breeze, the sun, and the curious little girl and her wise Myna bird, as they ask and tell one another how they all work together to make this beautiful world a wonderful place to live in.
These stories are not ‘folk tales' or ‘retold stories' of any kind, but lovingly crafted 'thought-provoking gems of truths' for children everywhere to enjoy them.

Jagannath Sharma
Engaged full-time for over five decades as Writer/Editor of professional magazines, books and literature in the domains of science & technology, management, and global trade, Jagannath Sharma made it his pastime then to write stories for children's magazines, story books, and plays for toddlers and teenagers. Now relaxing and enjoying the sense of wonder, thrill, laughter, joy and fun in writing for children, he believes it is essentially the child in the writer who weaves all kinds and shapes of people, places, and things in all sorts of goings-on - weird, terrifying, funny - mysterious, magical and fantastic - which delights the little ones. Besides this book Appu and the Big Fat Raindrop, the author's works include three others: Guddu in Chocolate-Cake Land, The Compulsive Storyteller, and Dung Dung and the Man-Eater of Muni Pujari.
