About the Author & Illustrator:

Disclosure: I received a free digital copy of this book for my honest review.
Amanda enjoyed this story very much. She thought the illustrations were beautifully drawn and she laughed at the ending. Her favorite chicken was Ganga.
What I liked about the book: I also thought the ending was very funny. I was expecting the fear to be the child's (in this case, the chick's), but the fear was the mother's and she overcame it with love for her chick. You will have to read the story to find out what happened! The story was entertaining and I would recommend it to children ages 4 to 8.
What I didn't like about the book: There was a wise old male chicken named Shastriji, but chickens are females and roosters are males. And, two adult females were called chicks when they should have been called chickens. These details didn't seem to be important to Amanda, but she is at the age when kids are supposed to be learning these things.
About the Author & Illustrator:
Subhash & Sujata Kommuru
Subhash and Sujata Kommuru hail from India. They migrated to the United States along with their memories of childhood and youth. Now that they are parents, just like every immigrant they crave to introduce their child to the culture and values of their upbringing. Yet it is challenging to teach something while you are in the midst of adjusting to a different culture yourself.
Subhash and Sujata both work in different disciplines and have different styles and backgrounds, but it is the upbringing of their son that brings them on the same page. That exact place where they meet is captured and reflected in their stories, where Subhash can express in words, and Sujata can illustrate them beautifully. Where he puts it in black and white, she adds color to it. You get the idea!
These stories are their attempt to share a glimpse of their childhood days with their son. He is their inspiration to write short stories that have meaning to them and provide teaching in some shape or form.
