From parental discord in Vinitha R's story to environmental issues in Nandita da Cunha's work to the wondrous adventures of the world's greatest diamond in Devika Cariapa, William Dalrymple and Anita Anand's book to Devashish Makhija's close look at life in the tribal communities, the choices reflect the diversity that India's children's book publisher are bringing to the table especially since the last few years. “The Neev Book Award began in 2017 to find great Indian children's books, and even in the last four years the stories have rapidly moved beyond the traditional themes of adventure, mythology and nostalgia,” said Kavita Gupta-Sabharwal, the co-founder and curator of the festival.
