| Summary/Abstract |
“The rightful place for an artist, his real world, is a pot of black ink. I believe it contains all the magic, all the forms, everything that human beings can imagine and render” says Mithila artist Santosh Kumar Das. In this poetic memoir of his growth into art, he pays a poignant tribute to the muses that transformed him into an artist — the greatest of them being his mother, along with the other women of the household who practised this originally female tradition of art.

|
| Summary/Abstract |
The Boy Who Speaks in Numbers is a darkly satiric account of childhood in times of war. Set in Sri Lanka, the events it narrates could equally happen elsewhere — in all places where human deaths are reduced to numbers, and where guns do not differentiate between adults and children. Mike Masilamani’s ironic narrative centers around an unnamed boy who is more at home with numbers rather than words. Along with a constantly chattering and prophetic cow he bears witness to a bizarre and violent time. Matthew Frame’s textured illustrations are a powerful testimony to the absurd horror of prolonged civil strife.

|
| Summary/Abstract |
This cloth book has been individually hand block-printed on textile panels, which makes each book a unique piece of art, which recreates a ritual textile known as Mata-Ni-Pachedi, or the Cloth of the Mother Goddess. Worshippers offer these votive cloths with images of their guardian goddess to herself: gifting a piece of creation to the creator is considered the highest form of worship. In keeping with this belief, the book has been designed as a cloth shrine. On the reverse of the main panel, the images tell the story of the origins of this tradition, the story that leads back to the beginning, to that which was created: the Cloth of the Mother Goddess.

Do! is a set of action pictures rendered in the elegantly minimalist Warli style of tribal art.

The illustrations in Do! were made by people belonging to a tribal community in Maharashtra, in western India.

Who doesn’t know a child who is always ready with an implausible excuse when caught out by an indignant adult? Excuses Excuses builds on this universal experience using an Indian setting. Young Neel is the boy next door who can’t help getting into trouble, and yet he is endearing in his explanations. He has one for every day of the week and for every kind of adult — it seems that he may never run out of them! Wildly funny and imaginative, this narrative in nonsense verse is fast-paced and keeps young readers guessing. Unusual and dramatic art that captures the improbable colors of India adds zest to a story that all children would want to be a part of.

Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's tale, The Little Mermaid.
