Vinita Singh Shetty's debut kids' book tells a story of empathy, cosmic wonder, hope and magic
On her seventh birthday, Reyah asks the Sun and the Moon to make her wish come true. Unlike most kids who wish for toys or treats, Reyah's wish is for her one-year-old brother, Neil, who has a hearing disability, to be able to 'hear the beautiful sounds I can hear'. "I don't know who is more important among you two, but whoever it is, please make my wish come true," she declares.
This is the premise of Vinita Singh Shetty's debut children's book, Reyah and the Cosmic Wish (Westland Books; ₹199), which explores themes of hope, universal balance, kindness, and more.
