Farmer Falgu Goes Kite Flying by Chitra Soundar, Illustrated by Kanika Nair
The StORI (Stories of Rural India) series uses real stories from rural India, of disenfranchised people and communities, and the unique challenges they overcome every day, be it in infrastructure, health care, disability, or job security.
At some point in the future, I'll write about the 4 books I have from StORI series II and the books by P. Sainath, but for now let's stick to Karadi Tales. I visited The Bookshelf Library on Sunday as usual and because Sankranti was this week, I asked for books that were relevant. We had similarly asked for books on Christmas in the last week of December 2024 and we loved the recommendations.
Given all of this, it's not a surprise that I was interested when the librarian recommended Farmer Falgu Goes Kite Flying by Chitra Soundar. And unsurprisingly, Preeti and Luffy liked it. I only just read it today before writing this short note but I've been hearing them read the book out loud this entire week. There isn't anything amazing to write about though - it's a good little book. Onto the next Karadi Tales book from The Bookshelf Library now.
