About this title

Synopsis

Children love Raksha Bandhan but do they know how this tradition began? Join the siblings Klaka and Kiki as they celebrate Rakhi with their sister Maya and hear Amma narrates the stories behind the festival - of what Lakshmi had to do to get her husband back, of how Indra emerged victorious after nearly losing a battle and how Rabindranath Tagore foiled a well laid plan of the British empire. For ages 2 to 8.

Written in rhyme with vibrant, captivating illustrations, by Bhakti Mathur, author of the best-selling 'Amma Tell Me' Series.

A promise to love and to protect
Is sealed by the special thread of Rakhi.
Learn how this lovey tradition began
With Amma, Klaka and little Kiki.

How Vishnu taught arrogant Bali a lesson;
A story about Indra, the God of lightning.
Learn the power of this special thread and how
Tagore used it to stop brothers from fighting.
