And land was born / Rao, Sandhya   Book
Rao, Sandhya Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication India, Tulika Publishers,
Description 24pBlue Spine
Summary/Abstract A delightful, humorous creation story from the Bhilala tribe in Madhya Pradesh, a state in central India. In the beginning, there was only water. The animals, birds, and humans were tired of always being wet, so they asked the four jugni matas, the mothers of the universe, to find land. Unsuccessful in their search, the four mothers called upon and pestered god. Far from omnipotent, god finally sent them to the astrologer, who in turn told them to ask Kali Kachchu, the tortoise. Many years later, he returned with an egg on his back, from which land was born. Accompanying this lively tale with its understated wit are primitive, stylized illustrations in bold primary and secondary colors on a rich tan background. They are often boxed with geometric borders and arranged in a variety of pleasing layouts. Unfortunately, the outline map of India is somewhat distorted and may be confusing to young readers. Nonetheless, it is a real treat to have this charming tale from an area not always represented in folklore collections.

Read about two fiesty females, Mati and her Ajji, who will not give in.
