About the Books

 

 

Sorry, Best Friend!

“We can tell these stories again and again, to more and more people. Some… may laugh at you or say your stories are not true. But they may… one day… understand that each of us ahs a place in this strange, funny world of ours.”

This collection of ten stories, edited by Githa Hariharan and Shama Futehally, looks at the India our children live in with clear, steady eyes. And while they see suspicion and division, they also find many reasons for hope.

 

On Sorry, Best Friend!
