Rani and I :
by M Ahmed, M Ahmed
Rani and I by M Ahmed is a children's book that narrates the story of Bhola, an orphan village boy who is living with his uncaring and unloving extended family of grandfather and uncle-aunt. After being neglected for his characteristics, his life takes a turn when he is made the caretaker of Rani, an orphan baby elephant! Could the differences in species come in between the connection of situations? Read the book to find out.
The author very efficiently plotted the story and the characteristics of Rani and Bhola, especially by narrating the story from both of their perspectives - making it more fun, especially for children. The illustrations in between were beautiful and support the vivid and fascinating imagination that the author creates with the story.
The newest thing about the book was that the 'Forward' was written by a 10-year old and it was so refreshing to see it as no one could have written about it better than the ones who still have the eye of innocence and not getting into the details of the writing and just enjoying the story. It was new, refreshing and good to see.
The story beautifully captures some important themes of depression, caretakers, miscarriage, dysfunctional families, animal cruelty and welfare while keeping the tranquility of innocence intact and making the themes children-friendly. Overall, it was a beautiful book that captured the imagination and innocence of the relationship of animals and humans.
