After having read “The Milk Moustache” and “The Magic Rolling Pin” by the celebrity chef Vikas Khanna, I was eager to pick up this book – “A Tree Named Ganga”. I love the fact that along with food and recipe books Vikas Khanna has forayed into the world of writing books for children and has not disappointed us yet.
Book description as given in it – The story of “A Tree Named Ganga” is a story of birth, love, growth, friendship, blossoms, arrogance, vanity, isolation and forgiveness.
A seed gets dropped by a pigeon and grows into a majestic fig tree giving shade, fruit, nesting place and play place to animals, birds and humans. But arrogance fills her heart and she drives away everyone. But does that make her happy? Does she thrive in isolation? Read to find out.
A lovely story with an important life lesson is told through beautiful and captivating illustrations makes the book a wonderful read. My almost 4 year old enjoyed it a lot!!
My rating 4/5.
