Meet Jokhu, the fiercest jokhini (ghost) in the bamboo grove! From tiny babies to the toughest bullies, everyone runs away when she appears. But one day, Jokhu meets a little girl who doesn’t scream, flinch—or even blink! What happens when the scariest ghost of all suddenly can’t scare anyone anymore?
\nAdapted from Assamese folklore, this bilingual Tamil edition is a hilarious and heartwarming tale about friendship, identity, and finding new purpose. With bold, vibrant illustrations and playful storytelling, it’s a perfect read for young children discovering that being scary isn’t the only way to be special.
