I Didn't Understand! / Mujhe Samajh Nahi Aya! (Hindi)

This is a story of three things that happened in my school yesterday. I did not understand them. Maybe you will. An everyday school story about friends and playing, bullying and sharing, takes a gentle turn. For it is told by Manna, and she has Down s Syndrome. Award-winning writer Mini Shrinivasan bases her narrative on true events, and speaks in Manna s voice to take us into her mind. That s how we move closer to understanding her guileless, trusting responses that are so different from the usual. The uncluttered yet emotive pictures movingly echo Manna s told-as-it-is account of what she can and cannot understand.
