My incredible india - jasbinder bilan

Tour the diverse regions of an incredible country in a vivid, joyful, and visually stunning introduction to the people, places, flora, and fauna of India.

Watch elephants bathing from a houseboat in Kerala, marvel at ancient cave paintings in Bhimbetka, wander Delhis bustling streets, and ride a train through the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas.

In spread after colorful spread, Indias breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and cultural splendor leap to life on the page, framed by the story of a little girl named Thara and her grandmother.

In a carved wooden trunk, Nanijee keeps mementos collected from all over India, each with a story to tell.

Readers can follow along page by page with Thara or dip in at any point to discover something new about Indias many and varied regions--from vibrant religious festivals, food, and crafts to sports and wildlife to Bollywood and a hidden sculpture garden filled with life-size figures.

A warm, welcoming tone and exquisitely patterned endpapers help make this an intimate keepsake to pore over and treasure.

A companion book to the award-winning Africa , Amazing Africa by Atinuke and Mouni Feddag, this is narrative nonfiction at its finest.
