Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

There were a hundred games the children played with the sky. Each question that arose in a child's mind was a game.'Where is the moon?' they asked if they woke up in the middle of the night. There's a pygmy mountain at the edge of the village.Near the top of the mountain is a mysterious hole. If you toss a stone down that hole, it will keep falling until you return to hear it hit the bottom.There's a second-grader named Bolu in the village school. He only speaks while he walks.If you want to speak to him, you must walk with him. And then there's the moon, rising from the green grass roof.It travels with Bolu and his friends wherever they go. In this book, light as pebbles skimming across a pond, Vinod Kumar Shukla speaks of the wonder of a universe in which, however separate we seem, we are inevitably joined as one.
