The Sparrow Who Flooded a Village

Written by Lakshmi Venkat
Illustrated by Lakshmi Venkat

Diu is bored during her summer holidays until she notices a tiny sparrow on her balcony. Her Paati then tells her a funny village story about a greedy sparrow who loved payasam so much that it accidentally flooded an entire village! Inspired by a word-of-mouth tale the author heard from her grandmother during childhood, this story also explores why sparrows are disappearing from our cities and how we can help protect them. Perhaps, while reading, you may remember the soft little chit-chit sounds from your own childhood too. And after you finish the story, listen carefully… maybe a tiny sparrow is chirping nearby, waiting to say hello. 🌿

Suggested age, readers, English difficulty and US school grade are separate labels. Age groups are guidance based on source information or editorial review; unreviewed books are “Not assessed”. A US grade is assigned only with source information or a documented assessment; otherwise it is “Not assessed”. Levels use A1–C2 to indicate reading difficulty. StoryWeaver levels 1/2/3/4 use our approximate A1/A2/B1/B2 guide, labelled “estimated”; this is not an official equivalence. A book-specific assessment takes priority. Other unassessed books are labelled “Not assessed”. Source StoryWeaver levels are retained separately. Classics retain their original English.
