Little Satya lives by the River Ganga in Banaras and longs to row her own boat, just like her father. But he says she's not old enough or strong enough. But Satya can't wait… One day, she makes a little paper boat and that night, she dreams and drifts into a watery world. As the story unfolds, the finely detailed illustrations and their colours heighten its magical quality and capture the hustle and bustle of the Banaras riverfront.

Love letter to the city of Varanasi
The story revolves around a fisherman’s daughter Satya and her fascination with boats which includes nagging her father to teach her how to row one. The story reaches its crescendo when one night Satya stealthily follows her father to the river only to be amazed to see a surreal “mermaid parade”. Goodbooks.in
