Nikhil and Jay: The Star Birthday by Chitra Soundar
In these four interlinked stories about Nikhil and Jay and their family, there's always fun and mischief. Grandad and Granny come to visit from India and show the boys that the best way to eat mangoes is in the bath! There's a Star Birthday for Nikhil, with a special Indian Feast. Another day the family all go for a banana picnic in the park. Everyone is sad when it's time for Granny and Grandad to go back to India, but Nikhil and Jay promise to send letters and pictures. The Nikhil and Jay stories are perfect for children moving on from picture books to longer stories, helped by Soofiya's lively and characterful illustrations."Perfect for younger readers, these short stories offer a glimpse into different cultures and the special relationship between grandparents and grandchildrenFun illustrations break up the text making these short stories the perfect bedtime read."
