A lovely and enthralling book once again by Bhakti Mathur on India's arguably most loved and famous Lord Ganesha. No celebration is possible all over the country without his felicitation and this is a endearing attempt to tell the story of how Lord Ganesha got his name and his elephant head. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did with my kids!
I love this book and I was thrilled that there was a chant Ganesha included in the front! What a brilliant way to start telling the story! My only complaint is the graphic pictures (the blood splatters in particular) are a bit frightening to some of my friend's children, but it really is the nature of the story so I'm certainly not dissatisfied. I hope Bhakti Mathur continues to create such beautiful books, sharing Hinduism's wealth of stories and history with the world.
Another wonderful book from Bhakti! Ganesha is a favorite God of many in India, especially children so this was a very welcome topic. In her trademark style, Bhakti tells the story of the birth of Ganesha in a simple yet enchanting manner that works like magic on children. My kids and I loved it, it's another must read!
