Lavanya Karthik

The book celebrates magic found in everyday lives through four distinct stories by different authors: Cyrus the Whyrus by Lavanya Karthik (Illus. Priya Kuriyan): Cyrus has a never-ending supply of "whys" that buzz around like bees, driving everyone crazy until someone finds a way to stop them. Who’s There? by Hansda Sowendra Sekhar (Illus. Anupama Ajinkya Apte): A spooky, whimsical tale where panic-stricken cats and strange voices from the attic leave characters wondering exactly who—or what—is there. Gawa’s Bag of Good Regards by Anushka Ravishankar (Illus. Canato Jimo): While everyone asks Gawa what he wants to be, Gawa is much more focused on what he wants to do. I Won’t Wash My Hair by Aparna Kapur (Illus. Ogin Nayim): Divya flatly refuses to wash her hair, leading to a collection of pencils, peanuts, and paintbrushes getting stuck in her mane.
