Where is Amma? [IP]

Where is Amma? Nandini Nayar “Are you there, Amma?” “Are you inside, Amma?” Kamran looks everywhere—in the kitchen, in the balcony… and even in the unlikeliest of places! Where is Amma? follows Nandini Nayar’s whimsical What Did You See? and the very popular What Shall I Make? which has editions in the US and the UK and was cited by the Honour List of the United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY) in 2010. Srividya Natarajan’s charming watercolour illustrations make this book one warm and irresistible hide-and-seek story. Author Description Nandini Nayar’s first book, Mehtab’s Picture, was published by Oxford University Press in 2009. Her stories for children appear in The Hindu, The Hitavada, Dimdima and Tinkle, and her Pranav stories have entertained readers of Sakal Times for three years. When not writing stories, she dreams them up. And when not doing either, she entertains her son, Pranav. Srividya Natarajan has a Ph.D. in English from the University of Hyderabad, India and is a bharatnatyam dancer, writer and illustrator. She has recently completed storyboards for two graphic book projects Bhimayana based on B.R. Ambedkar’s early life and one on Jyotirao Phule’s book, Gulamgiri. She lives and works in Canada. -
