The Colour Thief / Vanna Thirudan (Tamil)
By Stephen Aitken & Sylvia Sikundar | Illustrated by Sandhya Prabhat
What happens when a grumpy giant steals all the colour from the world—trees, flowers, birds, animals, even the sea? Set amidst majestic mountains, lush forests, and swirling skies, The Colour Thief is a magical, fairytale-like story with a powerful message about perspective and empathy.
\nThrough stunning illustrations that shift between brilliant colour and stark monochrome, the tale follows a little blind girl who teaches the giant to “see” the world in an entirely new way.
