childhood of my grandfather in his native home at Gundulpet

This is a book written by a 5-year-old girl, Kira, as she narrates the story of her maternal grandfather, Ramachandra. He had a rather difficult and endearing childhood, being the youngest of 14 siblings and growing up with a single mother in a remote village in Southern India called Gundulpet. Kira narrates the childhood stories her grandfather told her and adds her own view and perspective on things, which were put down on paper by her mother. This story is about creating some enjoyable and memorable moments in life through all its ups and downs. It is also about hard work and perseverance to change the course of the future, as viewed through the eyes of a child.
