Book tells kids how to tackle difficult childhood experiences
A new book introduces kids to discussions around difficult childhood experiences and addresses issues like grief and healing. The picture book "The Ammuchi Puchi" is a gentle bittersweet story of love, loss and hope by Sharanya Manivannan with illustrations by Nerina Canzi. The author says "The Ammuchi Puchi" was written to help children deal with the loss of a beloved grandparent.
Story is about two siblings losing their beloved grandmother
The story is about Aditya and Anjali and their grandmother Aamuchi. The two kids love listening to their grandmother's stories, particularly the scary one about the ghost in a tree. But the night their grandmother passes away, all her stories seem to lose their meaning. "The Ammuchi Puchi" features distinctly South Indian landscapes. The book is published by Puffin (Penguin Random House India).
The book is a must-have for every family
"'The Ammuchi Puchi' is billed as a must-have for every family to explain the concept of death and bereavement to young ones, as well as coming to terms with losing a loved one," Manivannan said.
