When an uncle from far away brings a picture book to Amiya’s class, he sparks an idea—they must build a library! But in Gurez, surrounded by snow and silence, there are no storybooks.

Amiya remembers that her Deidi holds many stories in her “old-old eyes.” Over warm cups of pink noon chai, Deidi tells, Amiya writes, her sister draws—and a new book is born.

Set in a remote Kashmiri village near the Line of Control, Noon Chai and a Story is a moving tale about creativity, resilience, and the deep value of stories in places where books are rare.
