Ramayana by Sanjay Patel is possibly one of the most beautiful kids books we’ve got. While the book is based on Hindu mythology, it’s a simplified version of the story that any child can relate to. The tale involves a prince, a 10 headed demon, a beautiful goddess like princess and some animals with super powers. It’s about an adventure involving deceit, wit, friendships and good triumphing over evil. The story is engaging and the illustrations are stunning. Full of colour and detail, each page comes to life with pictures that tell the story as beautifully as the words.
Since it’s a long book we’ve been reading it in chunks. We’ve already been through it twice and I know we’ll be reading it many more times in the coming years. Anya absolutely loves the book and will often get it out herself to look at the pictures.
Ramayana by Sanjay Patel is a book that can be appreciated by kids and adults alike. It really is a must have book in any child’s library (Hindu or not) and also makes a beautiful gift.
