This unusual, interactive stand-up book adapts a traditional Indian storytelling style. The Kaavad is a portable wooden shrine used by Rajasthani storytellers. Its many-hinged panels display vibrantly painted scenes from local myths and folktales. The Kaavadiya Bhat narrates the stories, opening up panels, pointing with a peacock feather. In much the same way, Ninavites readers to use her storytelling house and inspire discussions around ideas of home, family, identity and belonging.
