In writer Upasana Makati’s debut book, the protagonist Saba lives in a world where her parents, brother and best friend believe that like any other 10-year-old, she, too, should take part in an upcoming race. That she can’t see is no big deal; her brother will train her, best friend will guide her, classmates will cheer her on, and all that matters is her belief in herself to try new things. It’s a universe we long to live in, and Makati, founder and publisher of the lifestyle Braille magazine, White Print, hopes the children’s title, Run Saba, Run! (White Print) helps to flag off this conversation.
