Dugga — illustrated by Rajiv Eipe

Level B1 (estimated) · 28 pages · English

Dugga

Written by Rajiv Eipe
Illustrated by Rajiv Eipe

Dugga’s days are full of exciting things to see and incredible things to sniff. She sleeps, eats and plays as only a happy dog can. Until, one day, her life is turned upside down. With no warning at all, Dugga is thrown into a very different, terribly bewildering world. This is the story of how, with the help of humour, empathy and care — her own as well as that of other kind souls, Dugga finds her way back to love, cheer and compassion.

Earth, Our Home

Written by Anushka Ravishankar, Karthika Nair, Salil Chaturvedi, Sampurna Chattarji
Illustrated by Aindri C

The story of Earth is the story of life. It is also a story of loss, one worsened by climate change. But while the climate crisis can be a story of devastation, the work being done to mitigate it, to adapt to it, brings hope. And reminds us, our future is in our hands. The verses in this book tell these stories, in the voices of the orangutan, the Hasdeo Arand forest, the Gangetic dolphin and the Pondicherry shark.
