I Didn't Understand!/ Enikkonnum manasalayilla! (Malayalam)

Author : Mini Shrinivasan
Illustrator : Shubham Lakhera

An everyday school story about friends and playing, bullying and sharing, takes a gentle turn. For it is told by Manna, and she has Down’s Syndrome. Award-winning writer Mini Shrinivasan bases her narrative on true events, and speaks in Manna’s voice to take us into her mind. That’s how we move closer to understanding her guileless, trusting responses that are so different from the usual. The uncluttered yet emotive pictures movingly echo Manna’s told-as-it-is account of what she can and cannot understand. Selected for the Tata Trust's Parag Honour List 2020 (Picture Book)
