On an adventure to save the world
Coupled with engaging illustrations by Niloufer Wadia, the book has been authored by Zai Whitaker... What's interesting about Whitaker's writing is the fact that it is didactic without being too in-your-face. It takes a while to note that nail polish being the preferred drink for all viruses because it is available in plenty is actually a comment on consumerism and as a result, landfills. mid-day.com
Entertaining and educating!
In Zyrus the Virus (Tulika books, 2020), a sci-fi take on the COVID-19 pandemic, acclaimed writer and naturalist Zai Whitaker turns the tables and gives us a viral view of things! Her trademark humour brings on the chuckles, but beneath it are environmental issues rooted in the reality of today (and tomorrow). Indian Cultural Forum
