What is the tale behind the life of Phalabhuti? Kathasaritsagara is an intriguing book for children who enjoy reading myth and mythology! #Somadeva #TalesFromTheKathasaritsagara #ChildrensBooks #RohiniChowdhury penguin.co.in/thepenguindige…

Who is A. Coven?
Things only #kidlit folks care about: Heading to Delhi for @BookarooLitFest and getting reminder messages to inform everyone the true identity of A Coven the moment it is revealed. @DuckbillBooks, all your fault.

A Joyful Platypoem to celebrate seven years of publishing: New author, with talent brimming? Manuscripts in need of trimming? A fab poem, but dodgy rhyme? An idea that’s before it’s time? Nothing is too strange for us! We’re the joyful platypus! (1/3)

Stories of worlds near or far— Of falling stone or shooting star. Tales of joy or tales of woe, They all have a place to go— They come to us, in trains or buses, We’re the joyful platypuses! (2/3)

Have you read Himanjali Sankar's deeply moving teen novel?
Replying to @greeshtweets
A heart wrenching book by Himanjali Sankar and @DuckbillBooks. Really glad to have picked a physical copy of it. Perhaps one of my favourite YA reads this year.

Have you read this book?
V is for Vibhuti Cat by Shikandin Vibhuti Cat by Duckbill is an excellent book to create a sense of empathy and acceptance in young readers. Magesh is different from other children. He's no good with words. And when he's misunderstood, he gets upset and his movements get jerky.

I love the way this purple sunbird had an eye on me taking this picture, while it also went about its daily business. #birding #birdphotography #naturelovers #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #EarthCapture @Avibase

Have you read this fabulous book?
The #NeevBookAward, for the category of Young Adults, is given to Year of the Weeds, by #SiddharthaSarma, published by @DuckbillBooks . This novel offers an insightful critique of the abuses of democracy and capitalism through the lens of the Gond, an indigenous people of India.
