Body image and self esteem are two issues which are dealt in this book written by Lisa Dias Noronha.
Not happy with her looks, Gatila, a cow, experiments with a range of colours on her body. Thanks to the advice of her friends, Gatila is never satisfied. Finally, she discovers the right colour to complement her beauty and finds happiness - her own!
Illustrated by Anjora Noronha, this colourful book is a worthy winner of the Katha Chitrakala Encouragement Award (2011). Gatila’s innocent looking, crescent shaped eyes tease, amuse and appeal to every reader in the 3-8 years.
With every page you turn, kids will love guessing Gatila’s next course of action.
