Dugga by Rajiv Eipe

Preeti, Luffy, and I visited a friend of Preetis' a few days back. He's a Kannadiga and Dugga (published by Pratham Books) caught my eye as I was browsing through his stack of books. It was translated to Kannadiga but it's a wordless book so the only translations were the front matter and the back matter :D

It's a short and beautiful book about the life of a stray dog, how its life is disrupted by an accident, and how she is nursed back to health by a kind person. I read it to Luffy and as usual, he focused on the autos and other motor vehicles in the book instead of the dog and its antics.

You can read Dugga for free on Storyweaver, the Pratham Books digital platform.

P.S. I coincidentally met someone from Pratham Books the day before I read this book. "A book in every child’s hand." is their mission. They are a not-for-profit publisher so support them if you can. Also, did I say that all of their content is available under a Creative Commons license and that the Storyweaver platform itself is Open Source (MIT License).
