We can’t stop cooing about the humongous love NutSpace has always shown towards our books. This time, they have introduced The Unboy Boy (written by Richa Jha, illustrated by Gautam Benegal) to this sprightly bunch of children. It brings us much joy to see them so totally engrossed in the book!
That’s not all! Rohini Vij, who runs the show at NutSpace, has sent us this clipping of a dramatised reading of the book:
I am doing my best to sound modest and all, BUT over 1.2k exhibitors, over 26k visitors, etc etc, and who finds a little mention in the Publishers Weekly wrap-up of this year’s Bologna Children’s Book Fair? Guess, guess! My tiny baby Pickle Yolk Books is right up there, standing strong (4th para from the bottom)! Hugs to one and all for always cheering me on through this madness of mine!
We have returned from Bologna, all inspired and super charged! Sharing some hastily clicked pics of glimpses of the city centre and of the book fair:
And we are there!
You know you’ve landed in Italy because…! This one was right at the airport terminal. 😀
Shamelessly clicking pics of this irresistible window display and the view inside!

Gorgeous picture books from around the world at the Book Fair book shop…
This insanely eye-popping grandeur of the Sala dello Stabat Mater at the Archiginnàsio Library where the 6 regional BOP Bologna Prizes for the Best Children’s Publisher of the Year. What a proud moment it was for India to have Shobha Viswanath of Karadi Tales as one of the nominated publishers!!
Nothing comes close to the warmth and joy you feel in getting to hug friends thousands of miles away from home! With the multi faceted and inspiring Shobha Viswanath, author, and publisher of Karadi Tales; the unstoppable, super talented illustrator from India, Ruchi Mhasane, and Eva Sanchez (website link below), another incredibly awesome illustrator from Spain / Catalonia.
We are excited that The Unboy Boy (written by Richa Jha, illustrated by Gautam Benegal) has been selected alongside some other truly awesome books for this year’s Leading Reading Schools of India Awards (LRSIA) 2017!
Organised by the inimitable author, educator and story teller par excellence Shamim Padamsee and her Young India Books team, this is the fourth edition of the awards. These annual awards applaud and recognise the five leading schools of India for their exemplary work in instilling a love for reading in their students. On the historic occasion of our 70th year of Independence, this year’s programme lays emphasis on INDIA MERI HAI with the objective of creating sensitive readers and aware citizens who care for our land, its people, environment and heritage.
Don’t miss this lovely, upbeat video “India Meri Hai” conceptualised by Ms Padamsee and produced by her team; its peppy zing will have you humming it all day long! It will be shown at the participating schools and other venues. India’s leading wildlife photographers have contributed to making this an inspirational video. The images in the film can be used for further discussion to sensitise students to our environment.
