What Inspired This Book<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cI wrote this story for my son when he was three years old. I wanted to write and illustrate a book that appealed to all age groups, ethnicities and most importantly capture the awe in a child\u2019s eyes. It seemed to have worked. People of all background and age are able to relate to this story. Children and adults alike love the\u00a0colorful\u00a0illustrations. I have achieved what I strived for in publishing this book the way I intended it to be.\u201d\u00a0\u2014Gawri Manecuta<\/p>\n
