A new title about the social reformer makes for a riveting read for kids
An illustration from the book
A key voice in the nation’s freedom movement and the architect of the Constitution of India, Dr BR Ambedkar’s life is a sterling example of knowledge and learning. In BR Ambedkar: A Life in Books (Pratham Books), the author, Yogesh Maitreya, makes it a point to bring out the value of books and learning. This new title is evidently aimed at children to ensure the habit of reading is inculcated from a young age, much like a young Ambedkar himself. Illustrator Nidhin Shobhana adds an element of engagement without being intimidating and will go a long way into making the initiation to reading even smoother.
