Quick Overview

 The book is a fantastic exploration of a child’s psyche because often at this age many kids are curious about their bodies, about societal norms and gender roles. Having a positive body image is the basis of a healthy self esteem later on in life. Shilu’s nonchalant attitude, her wild and free spirit all are beautiful pointers to a deeper reality that we are much more than a mere bundle of flesh and bones.
