That's How I See Things

Shyam, Bhajju, Rao, Sirish

Siena Baba is a happy artist with a weird and wonderful way of seeing the world - and an even weirder and more wonderful way of painting it. People say his pictures look like nothing they know, but that doesn't bother him. Until one day, he starts to paint an extraordinary set of animals, who don't seem to appreciate just how fantastic they are...Bhajju Shyam, the renowned Gond tribal artist, illustrates Sirish Rao's humorous and profound tale about the power of art and the imagination. Populated with such charming and disgruntled creatures as the Pea-pig, the Croco-rooster and the Monk-upine, children and adults alike will never want to leave the vibrant and surreal world of Siena Baba.
