In a world that is increasingly getting distant from its roots and culture, Nandini Nayyar’s 21 Modaks for Ganesh Chaturthi is a tender and heartwarming picture book that invites young readers into the joyous world of the city’s most cherished festival. While it is ideal for children aged 2 to 6, our slightly older kids enjoyed the gentle introduction to the rich traditions and vibrant celebrations.
The story unfolds through the unique perspective of two spirited brothers, Neeraj and Nitin. They assist their Aai and Baba in preparing for the sacred day, offering young readers a relatable and engaging narrative. The boys’ eyes provide a window into the simple yet profound joys of family life—running errands, tidying up, and decorating their home, all while their hearts brim with excitement for Bappa’s favourite, modaks.
