Picture book
The Talking Bird
Ma buys the perfect present for her little Tokai from a pavement hawker — a toy bird that repeats everything it hears. The problem starts when Ma can’t make it stop! There is mayhem in the middle of busy, busy Dalhousie Square, with a stalled bus and an angry policeman. Will Tokai get his present after all?
Bright, bold pictures set off this hilarious story that captures the soul of Kolkata.
The Talking Bird has been translated into nine Indian languages.
