YEAR GROUP

Years 1 and 2

Four interlinked stories about a pair of brothers in a British Asian family. Soundar's stories speak to the lives and concerns of young children: messages around sibling rivalry, owning up to your mistakes, having patience and using your voice are contained within such relatable tales as having a birthday, telling stories and cooking a family meal - plus an exciting conclusion in which the brothers start a campaign to save their local library. Readers can further immerse themselves in the story world by cooking the recipe for Amma's dosa and chutney provided at the end of the book.
