| Brief Description: | This series from Tulika is designed as a set of entry level readers for 3 to 6 year olds. They are also excellent picture books for younger children. In response to the needs of children growing in a multi-lingual society, the series uses bi-lingual text that provides children easy access to two languages at a time. Creative rather than literal translation from one language to another seeks to preserve the natural flow of the idiom.
Line and Circle uses a simple, direct approach to present a basic concept. By listening and reading, the book encourages children to observe.
Line and Circle was originally conceptualised by Radhika Menon as an animated story for a Malayalam Children's television programme, Chirakukal. The book has been illustrated by Trotsky Marudu, a painter-illustrator based in Madras. Marudu is also a gifted animator, experimenting with digital animation. His other passion is illustrating comic books. |
