Words rollick and frolic in Kanna's head, yet he hardly speaks. One day, he is with his family at the cave temples when the lights go off. Everyone is frightened, except Kanna. Light or no light, it makes no difference because he can't see anyway. And as he confidently leads the way out, he finds himself talking… Words tumble out to unleash the playful chatterbox within – Kanna Panna! A joyous story that neatly inverts the notion of ‘disability’. Warm, strong pictures pick up the nuances to portray a child for whom visual impairment is just the way it is – and is even a chance to have some fun!
