Book description
Meet the most wily jackal in the forest… too lazy to hunt for food,
he starts by tricking his friend the crane, and then proceeds to
gobble up every animal he comes across…
This story, with cumulative rhyme, is an adaptation of an oral
trickster tale from Rajasthan.
The book is illustrated with finger painting by the talented Sunita,
from the Meena tribe in Rajasthan. She adapts a traditional
Meena art form called Mandna – with ritual and decorative
designs – painted by women on the walls and floors of their
village homes. This is the first time that this style – rarely seen
outside the confines of Meena villages – has been used in a
children’s book.
