Alone in the Forest

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Bhajju Shyam. This tale of a child venturing outside his usual sphere is set among the forest-dwelling Gonds of central India. Musa's mother sends him to fetch firewood. He marches confidently into the forest--until a "crack!" and a "boooom!" ignite his fears. A simple, satisfying story, much enriched by its cultural grounding and handsome, energetic, boldly outlined art.
