Unusual picture book
Wings to Fly is an unusual picture book in that it tells the true story of an extraordinary person, Malathi Holla, who lost the use of her legs when she was a child but went on to be a champion sportsperson… The illustrations are outstanding. Every page has images with strong lines, some quite quirky and funny. Goodbooks.in
