Book Summary
Step into the vibrant world of Calcutta in 1928 with Chumki And The Pangolin. This captivating tale follows the journey of ten-year-old Bithi as she grapples with her desire for freedom amidst societal constraints. In a time when student protests are gaining momentum and police brutality is on the rise, Bithi yearns to join the struggle for independence but feels stifled by the expectations placed upon her.
As her best friend prepares for marriage and societal disapproval looms over her education, Bithi's fiery spirit sparks a collection of brave schemes. With each plot and plan, she confronts the very people she loves as she bravely fights against injustice. This relatable character reminds us that even in the face of adversity, courage can shine brightly.
The Songs of Freedom series beautifully narrates the experiences of children during India's independence movement. Each story is crafted from a child’s perspective, breathing life into historical events and making them accessible and engaging. As Bithi navigates her challenges, readers are encouraged to reflect on the importance of standing up for what is right.
Join Bithi on her unforgettable adventure, where courage knows no bounds and the fight for justice resonates deeply. Chumki And The Pangolin not only captivates young readers but also inspires all of us to engage with India’s rich history and the spirited quest for freedom.
