Journey through India and explore its incredible diversity in this richly illustrated book, with words from a Costa-winning author. Written by award-winning author Jasbinder Bilan with detailed artwork by Nina Chakrabarti, this is a joyful celebration of India and its incredible people, places and wildlife. Watch elephants bathing from a houseboat in Kerala, marvel at ancient cave paintings in Bhimbetka, wander through Delhi's bustling streets, and ride a train through the snow-capped peaks of the Himalaya. Uncover India's fascinating history and culture, and explore the unique mix of the traditional and modern that makes India the incredible country it is today. Winner of the Books for Topics Book of the Year! Shortlisted for The Week Junior Book Awards 2023! “A truly stunning book to pour over for hours.” WRD magazine “This colourful, evocative journey through India […] does a superb job of conveying the vast scale, variety and richness of the subcontinent, touching intriguingly on its wealth of wildlife, food, festivals, dance, scientific innovation and history.” Guardian

Author Biography:

Jasbinder Bilan was born in a stable in the foothills of the Himalayas that had been in her family for generations. Her debut novel Asha and the Spirit Bird won the prestigious Costa Children's Book Award and The Times Chickenhouse Fiction Prize. Jasbinder studied for an MA in Creative Writing at Bath Spa University and now lives near Bath, in England, with her husband, two sons and an adorable dog named Enzo. She works as a teacher and in her free time (when she's not out walking Enzo), loves writing stories for children. Nina Chakrabarti studied illustration at Central Saint Martin’s College and The Royal College of Art, London. She uses line drawing to explore her love of the decorative arts, inspired by her past in Calcutta, India, where she grew up, and the exuberance of London. She is the author of the bestselling My Wonderful World of Fashion which has been translated into ten languages.
