Geeta's Day: From dawn to dusk in an Indian village

This author’s I is for India is familiar to many, and this new book is similarly a feast of information about the customs, religions and culture in India. The author states that India is a country of villages, where some people are born, grow up and die in their own village without ever moving to another place. 6-year-old Geeta’s day begins like many another’s world-over, with teeth cleaning and taking a bath. As her day progresses it is possible for readers to compare and contrast Geeta’s world with their own. The similarities and differences will provide much food for thought. The colour photography is stunning, beautifully presented on what appears to be handmade paper. Additional factual information is presented in italics in this rich and vibrant book.
