Review: GRANDMA’S BAG of STORIES by SUDHA MURTY 😊😊What is your fav Children’s Book??This book by Sudha Murty is like that warm sun that you wanna feel on a cold winter morning. It will boost your soul and spirits, fill your heart with longing and happiness & will take you back to the time when life was simpler and fun.It is a collection of 22 short stories told by Ajji to her grandchildren Raghu, Meenu,Anand, Krishna and their neighbourhood friends. The grandchildren come to their grandparents place during their summer vacations. Their grandparents house is away from the hustle-bustle of the city life; surrounded by greenery and open field. The children however are most excited about the stories that Ajji is going to tell them during their stay with her.The stories told by the grandmother are short & sweet moral stories. These stories deal on wide variety of topics such as importance of:📍 hard work &honesty📍being down to earth, being helpful & humble & content & loyal📍having presence of mind📍loving people unconditionallyAll the stories will fill you up with hope and that feeling of content that you used to feel if your grandparents also told you stories.The narration is very effective as you will be able to retain the stories for a long time. The tone is full of warmth. The book is woven in a way to make you feel nostalgic.The book brought back strong memories of my childhood when my brother & me used to travel to my native place with our parents to meet our grandparents during summer & winter breaks. Those memories were overwhelming. The smile that used to break on my Amma’s & Dadaji’s face are images that I would cherish for my lifetime. It’s a shame that I lost them so early. This was my first Sudha Murty book & I am so glad that I picked up her book. It brought me out of my reading slump of 2 long months. It’s a very sweet & a humble book. Do give it a read. You will not at all be disappointed.
