Ammu?s Bottle Boat | Available in English and Hindi

When she sets her plastic bottle boat to bob from stream to sea, Ammu doesn?t know what danger she has set adrift ? that it might end up in the belly of a whale. The light verse that follows the journey of the bottle boat evokes the casual carelessness with which we destroy the natural world, while illustrations underline that horror with a clever spin on a Japanese art form. Fish and sea creatures used as printing plates in ?Gyotaku? are replaced here with plastic objects like bottle caps and bubble wrap ? and the displacement of nature with modern-day trash is complete.
