Roots

  • Format:

Four friends embark on a transformative journey through India, united by a quest to discover their roots and understand who they truly are. As they traverse diverse landscapes, they delve into the rich tapestry of local art and craft forms, each region offering a unique glimpse into its cultural heritage. \n\nThrough their travels, the friends realise that the essence of art and craft lies in expression—a mirror reflecting their identities. \n\nThis adventure becomes not just about exploring art but about widening their horizons and reconnecting with their origins to truly grasp the depth of their selves.\n\n\nWe envision a generation of young readers who not only revel in captivating stories but also develop a profound awareness of their heritage, roots, and the diverse art and craft forms that make our culture truly unique.
