The Pleasant Rakshasa / Ananda Ratchasan (Tamil)
Author: Sowmya Rajendran | Illustrator: Niveditha Subramaniam
What happens when a rakshasa is too pleasant… and even beautiful?
\nMeet Karimuga, a unique rakshasa who stands out for all the “wrong” reasons. In a world where being fierce is valued, his kindness and beauty spark jealousy among the others. Can being different really be a strength?
\nWith 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.
