Demi's paintings are absolutely beautiful. Reminiscent of Persian miniatures, the characters of Krishna and his companions are brought to life, illustrating traditional Hindu stories. A marvelous book.
My thoughts: Beautiful illustrations and simple text tell the story of one of the most loved and popular gods of India - Krishna - the flute playing, demon slaying, and beloved cowherd. Having grown up listening to, seeing, and reading these stories, I was not sure of what to expect. This book does justice to both the richness of Indian folk art in its illustrations and to the story of Krishna - told in a simplified fashion to appeal to younger audiences who are new to this story. An epic retold well and one that will inspire kids to read more of Krishna's wonderful adventures.The illustrations in this book are worth framing!My kids' thoughts:Love reading about Krishna.Rating: AReading Level: 4 to 10 yearsReread Level: 4/5Disclaimer:Thank you to NetGalley for sending me a digital review copy of the book. I was not compensated for my review.
My daughter and I just loved the story about Krishna and enjoyed it alot. The book is a short read and will make a perfect read for a bedtime story. The illustration in this book is beautifully done. The pictures are gorgeous and the gold paint on the drawing adds a touch of elegants to the pictures in the book. My daughter loves the pictures in the book. The story was very engaging and teaches the lesson that good conquer over evil. The story is about a boy named Krishna who was send by all the God's to saved the people from an evil demon king and bring peace to Earth . The story talks about Krishna's naughty childhood, his strength and miraculous powers. It also talks about his adoption in the cowherds family. The cowherds are poor and peaceful people. Overall this a wonderful book for both kids and adult. I highly recommend it, beautiful art work and lovely story.
As a Christian I am not very familiar with Hindu deities, but I have heard of Krishna, and now through the words and beautiful artistry of Demi I can read and share this story of a Hindu savior with my children. Lately we have been adding more and more Demi picture books to our shelves for the biographies and they are enchanting. The blues of Krishna and the golds used are fabulous to look at and the story is well put together. I definitely want to add a physical copy of this one to our shelf.I read this through an electronic galley, but I am positive in person it will only impress me more.
