Children's & YA
The Soul
by Richa Jha and Ruchi Shah
Description
The lonely writer Lekhan huffs and puffs every time the noisy street he lives in brings a new disturbance to interrupt his tales. Desperate to find a solution, Lekhan devises a plan which slowly leads him away from all the giggles and pitter-patter and chitter-chatter. The only problem remains is that his stories are silent, they do not cry anymore. Nor do they smile anymore.
Richa Jha’s narrative sprinkles magic in the tedious effort to find and express into words, the soul of a story. Ruchi Shah’s vivid and curious illustrations bring to life an artist’s journey towards inspiration and drawing the best of their art from the world around them.
