Book Uncle and Me

Scholastic India, 2012; Groundwood 2016

“Yasmin’s campaign should help inspire young readers to believe in their own potential to make a difference and teach the valuable lesson that sometimes it takes several small actions to make big moves.” Kirkus Reviews (starred)

“There are valuable lessons for activists of all ages in this lovely upper elementary chapter book.” Social Justice Books

“The book joyfully celebrates diversity and pluralism simply by presenting a situation where a motley bunch of warm-hearted, fiercely individualistic people come together for a cause. And, while the book is rooted in “the corner of St Mary’s Road and 1st Cross Street”, it succeeds in transcending cultural boundaries by giving us characters whom we care about in a story with universal appeal.” Asha Nehemiah/Scholastic Asia
