This river jumps out of a horse’s mouth, all set for adventure! Piercing through forbidding mountain ranges, he races down from Tibet through northeastern India. Changing form and name as he rushes along, this mighty ‘son of Brahma’ connects an incredible mix of people, places and ways of life. A set of four books that flow down with some of India’s important rivers, from source to sea, to glimpse life along the way. A hands-on way for young children to understand and explore ‘information’, this series keeps them engaged as they colour in the line drawings and absorb the visual details.

Captivating images
The book shows the readers a very interesting yet largely unknown part of India- the Northeast, specifically the state of Assam.

Although the authors recommend the book for school age children, parents can easily paraphrase for younger children. Kids Play Box
