About the book:
Bijoy’s father raises eri silkworms in their backyard and his mother spins yarn, and Bijoy is off with his father to the famed golden silk village of Sualkuchi – across the big Brahmaputra! As we follow Bijoy on his first, exciting ferry ride, we see how the daily lives of people in Assam are intertwined closely with the grand old river, the Burha Luit. Facts, illustrations and photographs intersperse the quiet narrative.

About the book:
This book is about Subbu, a traffic signal, who is tired of staying rooted on a busy street. Taken over by a desire to see places, he wanders away. But sadly, all other familiar street buddies that Subbu encounters on his way, ask him to go back! What does Subbu eventually do?
A simple story, while capitalizing on a much loved street object stresses the virtue of responsibility for children. The illustrations are casual and fun, and the language of the text is tailored to suit early readers.
