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.
Readers can learn from an individual who went from strength to strength on the basis of his academic brilliance and reading habits. The author tries to make kids understand the value of education, and how reading can impact one’s life. In a culture that is slowly moving to a digital space, this book is an insightful take about an important habit to possess.
