Children's Day Gift

Wondering what to gift your child on this Children's Day?

Here is my book, specially written for children.

Oh! We Brutes - The Kingdom of Animals

A great mission that stands ahead of mankind today is the protection of the environment. There is an urgent need to inculcate a sense of responsibility among the children towards this task. If the present day children are motivated to think and act for the protection of the environment, they will indeed have a greater say and thus influence and may also bring out policies and programmes in favour of protecting the natural environment. This book thus makes a minuscule attempt towards this enormous mission.

The principal objective of this book is to educate children about the issues and challenges facing the environment. The book looks at the problems from the viewpoint of the animals. Thus, the book makes it clear that human beings are responsible for the problems related to the environment. Certain issues like deforestation, extreme temperatures, increase in natural calamities like droughts and floods are integrated into the story. The book also discusses certain important topics like the balance of nature, food chain, an ecosystem in a simple and lucid manner.

The parallel objective of the book is to make future citizens, that is, the children, responsible towards the environment. The book will inspire the children to think, understand, and act towards the protection of the environment.

The book also brings to light the purpose of education. As a Teacher, I believe that “Education is a process of imbibing a culture that inspires us to come together as human beings and resolve the issues faced by the humanity”. This meaning is clearly depicted in this book. If our education does not teach us to resolve the various problems faced by the human beings as a whole, we are seriously amidst a catastrophe. I hope, my book brings some positive change in the education system in our country and the world at large.

Further, the book introduces various forms of literature like: poetry, song, prose, monologue, dialogue, skit, drama, letter writing, dialectics, dream, flash back, narration and description. There are some questions that Chingu, the main character asks in this book. These questions discuss some informative as well as ethical issues.

Like my first book, ‘Rats, Cats and Indian Politics’, I wrote this educational fiction with animals as characters to put across my message. ‘Animal Farm’ written by George Orwell, continues to inspire me.

So, gift your kids this new book on this Children's Day.
