The City Of Lions (English)

Author : Suniti Namjoshi
Illustrator : Proiti Roy

Gardy isn’t sure if he is the lost lion cub prince who will save the ‘City of Lions’, Singapore. But he rushes there with his friends, all the same. They find that the city is indeed under threat – from its very own haughty, crotchety, bickering guardians, Sir Leon and the Old Woman under the Sea. What is seeing clearly all about – guessing the future, seeing things how they are, or seeing things how they should be?

A bold trend

When the author is a feminist, this part adventure, part fantasy tale is more than just a book: It's a bold trend in children's literature… Aditi is Indian, wears salwar-kameez and plaits her hair. (This is how illustrator Shefalee Jain imagined her). However, Aditi is not in a limiting/closed 'Indian' world. Like any child in the world, she too has desires to know more, about the worlds and peoples and creatures of distant lands. Boloji.com
