Here are some books that we have enjoyed reading at our household, from Tulika Publishers (their Wikipedia page has their official website) in India.
'Flower' - by Sandhya Rao and pictures by Ashok Rajagopalan, featuring 'Thumb Thumb Thambi', the thumb print boy, is a dear one. My son got this as a gift when were in India in 2009. We have since then sampled few of the books published by them and these are the favorites.
'My mother's sari' also by Sandhya Rao is an ode to the childhood memories of saris.
'Junior Kumbhakarna' by Arundhati Venkatesh, is fun. The boy Kukku in the book goes to bed listening to Kumbhakarna story from his appa and wakes up asking - 'where are the laddus?'.
Mala's silver Anklets by Annie Besant and Gajapati Kulapati Kalabalooosh! by Ashok Rajagopalan are delightful as well.
The books have a taste of India that we enjoy.

We are big Tulika fans. They have this 5 book series on the panchaboothams. Very well written.
ReplyDeleteI am also enthused about their bilingual books (English-Tamil). Picked up a couple of them.
