Published by Otter-Barry Books
In these four interlinked stories about Nikhil and Jay and their family, there’s always fun and mischief.
- Jay wants to do things by himself on his birthday, but sharing with Nikhil turns out to be more fun.
- They all go to visit Grandad and Nana, but where is the story dragon?
- Then it’s Pancake Day, the day when Amma makes yummy dosa, Indian pancakes.
- And last but not least, Nikhil and Jay help to lead a campaign to save their local library from closing.
The Nikhil and Jay stories are perfect for children moving on from picture books to longer stories, helped by Soofiya’s lively and characterful illustrations.
