Silly Billy Series: Leaf People

While spending their summer vacation at their grandmother’s home in the hills, Nikoo and her younger brother Zubin stumble upon a fantastical leaf creature and decide to uncover its mystery. But solving a puzzle isn’t easy when the two are constantly squabbling—especially over a goat! The plot thickens when Zubin suddenly disappears. Has the leaf creature carried him away? And is there more to that goat than meets the eye? Chatura Rao, an acclaimed children’s author, weaves this enchanting tale with humor and suspense. Her picture books, Gone Grandmother and The Sweet Shop Wars, have won literary prizes. Based in a quiet suburb of Bangalore, she occasionally steps out to help young people write their own stories, while continuing to craft narratives that capture the magic of childhood.
