What would you do if nobody 'understands' you?
This story brings to light the 'power' of the less-abled and reminds us that being ‘normal’ has its limitations.
Narrated in the first person, this story is about Kanna, a quiet boy who doesn’t speak much even though words play around in his mind. But then something happens during his stay with his Aunty’s family. Something that makes him a whole new person!

Kanna, his Uncle, Aunty and cousins get trapped in the deep,
dark maze of cave temples due to a sudden power outage. Everyone is terrified, except Kanna. The darkness does not scare him for he is
used to it – Kanna is blind!
I love this heartening story and the charming illustrations that go with it. Kanna is such a cute little boy that during my first read of the book, I wondered why the parents were constantly picking on him. That he is blind gets revealed rather suddenly, making the reader view Kanna differently. But what follows is truly inspiring!
A thought-provoking read for children 6+.
