Written for curious minds seeking wonder and understanding, this book is perfect for young readers and mythology lovers alike, offering an education that feels comforting, inspiring, and adventurous.
Through 75 beautifully illustrated anecdotes, Pashu reveals how different animals came to be and the roles they play in ancient cosmology. Pattanaik’s warm, accessible storytelling makes complex mythological themes feel fresh and relevant, turning long narratives into engaging episodes you can savor at your own pace. The pages pair storytelling with lush illustrations, inviting you to travel from creatures that swim to those that fly, crawl, or stride across the human world, while learning how these tales shaped our views of nature and society.
In Pashu, the stories are crafted to highlight the diverse “pashu” of creation, showing the connections between myth, animals, and everyday life. This structure makes the experience enjoyable and easy to follow, whether you’re exploring on your own or sharing the journey with a young reader.
