The wheels of a cycle, a merry-go-round, a spinning top… Kayu lives in his own quiet world filled only with circles and the patterns they make. One day, he sees a cricket ball spin and curve and jump before it strikes the bat, and he is onto something – a magical bowling spell with two hat-tricks! Inspired by a child with autism, the story makes the worlds of different children intersect. In doing so, it sensitively evokes the coming together of their strengths. 2021 Jarul Book Award (shortlisted – English)

Addressing complex issues with candour
…This tendency to perform othering can be terribly annoying because it constantly reinforces the idea that disability is an aberration from what is ‘normal’. What is needed instead is a respectful acceptance of differences, as evoked in Lavanya Kapahi’s book Kayu’s World is Round (2019), illustrated by Aditee Deore and published by Tulika Publishers Chintan Girish Modi, mad in asia pacific
A brilliant book!
This book 'Kayu's World is Round' from @tulikabooks hits home for us, brilliant book about mother's fear of missing out. Let your child be, understand what they like and work around that, both of you would be happier! Sonil, @footloosemama
