Dance, Nani, Dance Stories of Grandmothers and Grandfathers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789354474903)

Meet Paati, Thatha, Dida, Nani, Dadi, Dadu and so many more grandparents

of all kinds in this charming collection of stories by some of India's best

children's writers. What is a child to do if Nani decides to audition for a dance

show? Or if Paati suddenly appears as an apparition with magenta-coloured

hair? What is it like when Thatha becomes a detective and goes crime busting,

or when Dadu decides to deal with an unhappy ghost in the neighbourhood?

Ruskin Bond gives a glimpse of his Granny as a young girl. Bulbul Sharma

recounts an exciting and unusual train journey with her beloved Dida. Ashok

Banker and Jerry Pinto write sensitively about dealing with the loss of a

grandparent, while Bijal Vachharajani's grandma would know just what to do

with all those single-use plastic bags everywhere.

A collection to be read alone or with a grandparent, Dance, Nani, Dance brings

to life the unique and beautiful bond children share with grandparents. It

will make readers laugh, or wipe a tear, or inspire them to cuddle Nani some

more!
