It& #39;s Friday (finally) and before I crawl into my PJs for the weekend, I thought I would do a little thread about some of the lovely books for children and YA we have published in 2020 at @speakingtiger14 . For this week, day, year sure needs some cheer. So here goes.
The year began with two of our favourite authors. Bulbul Sharma& #39;s beautifully illustrated book & #39;Birds In My Garden and Beyond& #39;. Not just birds, it has Bulbul& #39;s trademark gentle humour. And a fat cat. https://www.speakingtigerbooks.com/shop/childrens/birds-in-my-garden-and-beyond/">https://www.speakingtigerbooks.com/shop/chil...
The other one was by the fabuper Shabnam Minwalla and book 3 in her Nimmi series, & #39;Nimmi& #39;s Bizuper Birthday& #39;. It is easily the funniest and cutest middle grade book of the year. Also catch the other two Nimmi books. https://www.speakingtigerbooks.com/shop/childrens/nimmis-bizuper-birthday/">https://www.speakingtigerbooks.com/shop/chil...
I love putting together anthologies, and this one was hugely fun to research. And it includes a translation of eternal fav Goopy Gyne. & #39;The Magic Shop: Classic Stories of Magicians, Wizards and Spellmakers& #39;. https://www.speakingtigerbooks.com/shop/childrens/the-magic-shop-classic-stories-of-magicians-wizards-and-spellmakers/">https://www.speakingtigerbooks.com/shop/chil...
In our Teenage Diary series, for a completely different take on Razia Sultan (she writes poetry, battles period pains while being wise and strong) read & #39;The Teenage Diary of Razia Sultan& #39;. It is a book for every teen and pre-teen girl. https://www.speakingtigerbooks.com/shop/childrens/the-teenage-diary-of-razia-sultan/">https://www.speakingtigerbooks.com/shop/chil...
Warrior queens means Rani Laxmibai. The story of a teenage Manikarnika, as she becomes the ruler of distant Jhansi, and finds her voice and strength as a woman, is touching and inspiring. & #39;The Teenage Diary of Rani Laxmibai& #39; https://www.speakingtigerbooks.com/shop/childrens/the-teenage-diary-of-rani-laxmibai/">https://www.speakingtigerbooks.com/shop/chil...
We& #39;ve been fortunate to publish a few works of the artist Mehlli Gobhai. & #39;The Tree Book& #39; is so beautiful you just want to hug it...or the nearest tree. We were happily surprised by how much everyone loved this book. https://www.speakingtigerbooks.com/shop/non-fiction/the-tree-book/">https://www.speakingtigerbooks.com/shop/non-...
Before the pandemic struck, the incomparable @arunava had given me his translation of Sukumar Ray& #39;s Hojoborolo. We published it as & #39;Habber-Jabber-Law& #39;. It is so funny, so intelligent, and so satirical that it is a classic translation of a classic. https://www.speakingtigerbooks.com/shop/childrens/habber-jabber-law-a-nonsense-adventure/">https://www.speakingtigerbooks.com/shop/chil...
The voices of children come to the forefront. In & #39;A Bend In Time& #39; 12 children came together to write their thoughts about the pandemic . If one thing makes you smile about this pandemic it will be this. And don& #39;t miss @bijal_v amazing introduction https://www.speakingtigerbooks.com/shop/childrens/a-bend-in-time-writings-by-children-on-the-covid-19-pandemic/">https://www.speakingtigerbooks.com/shop/chil...
