A JAR OF SOUND:
Author: Anjali Raghbeer Pictures: Kunal Kundu
Age Group: 5 to 10 years
Length: 24 pages
Book type: Hard cover
Editor’s Note: The forest goddess was angry with hunters who killed animals recklessly and felled trees without mercy. As they broke into dance to the beating of the drum, the jungle goddess took away the sound and sealed it in a jar. The hunters could not speak, as they could not produce sound, and the drums fell silent. The goddess tossed the jar of sound to a cloud high in the sky. How the hunters repented and learnt to respect life and got back their voice is beautifully told in this story. The forest comes alive with breathtaking pictures of the BHIL art form. A joy to read.

Wisdom Tree's Art Tales from India is a series of books that combines stories and illustrations inspired by Indian folk art.
11 year old Ganga is kept away from the wedding chamber which is being painted by her mother using traditional Madhubani painting. She is kept away so that there isn't any mess with the painting.
Ganga is on errands when suddenly they realise that her mother's golden Hansuli (necklace) is missing.
Ganga has a chance to find the missing Hansuli. Its her painting that saves the day!
A very colourful book that teaches kids to have confidence in themselves and they can accomplish the most difficult of the tasks.
In this book, the author takes us to the heart of Madhubani with a gentle tale of a young girl's desire to paint her life in her own colours.
