What happens when a rakshasa is too pleasant… and even beautiful?

With witty storytelling by Sowmya Rajendran and quirky, vibrant illustrations by Niveditha Subramaniam, this playful Tamil picture book turns traditional ideas of monsters, beauty, and happiness upside down. A riot of colours and emotions, it’s a story that will delight both children and adults.
