Description
x"The mayor's office lead the way,
as a new city was underway,
and old traditions were cast away..."
Can progress make room for tradition? That's the question posed to readers in Bargad, an enchanting tale that transcends cultural boundaries.
Set in an ancient village in India, Bargad is a compelling tale of love, compassion, and gratitude that teaches children to respect and care for traditions and the environment.
Bargad, a banyan tree, is the oldest resident of the small village of Vikasnagar. He serves as a symbol of strength and prosperity to the townspeople and is the center of the traditional Indian celebration of Vat Savitri. One day he finds his existence challenged by the mayor, who wants to tear him down to make room for a new road. Bargad has been able to stand the challenge of time, but will he be able to withstand modernization?
Award-winning children's book author Subhash Kommuru pairs charming rhymes with the whimsical illustrations of Sujata Kommuru to create a lovely story the entire family can share again and again.

By Sujata Kommuru
xSubhash and Sujata hail from India. They migrated to the United States along with their memories of childhood and youth. Now that they are parents, just like every immigrant they crave to introduce their child to the culture and values of their upbringing. Yet it is challenging to teach something while you are in the midst of adjusting to a different culture yourself. Subhash and Sujata both work in different disciplines and have different styles and backgrounds, but it is the upbringing of their son that brings them on the same page. That exact place where they meet is captured and reflected in their stories, where Subhash can express in words, and Sujata can illustrate them beautifully. Where he puts it in black and white, she adds color to it. You get the idea! These stories are their attempt to share a glimpse of their childhood days with their son. He is their inspiration to write short stories that have meaning to them and provide teaching in some shape or form.
