Why Our Amma Is the Best

For Amma (Deepa), from Nila and Kavin, with a little help from Appa (Senthil), Coimbatore. A fictional family.

A classic softcover in soft watercolour, made by Appa a week before Mother's Day from 11 photos and the kids' answers, some typed and some spoken. The book is in English and keeps the family's own word for her: Amma. Kavin's 10-second voice note plays from a QR code on the last page, and the digital book was set to unlock on the morning itself.

  1. Watercolour of a mother pulling a small blue shoe from under a sofa while her two children watch, amazed.

    Amma has a superpower. She can find anything. Kavin's lost shoe, Nila's red ribbon, even Appa's phone. She looks once, and there it is.

  2. Watercolour of a mother cooking paniyaram on the stove while her daughter and son wait at the counter with steel plates, the boy's cheeks full.

    Amma always says, "Five more minutes, then lights off." But her paniyaram is the best in the whole world. Kavin ate eleven. We counted.

  3. Watercolour of a mother and her two children lying on a mat on a rooftop at night, looking up at the stars, with a bowl of mango slices beside them.

    We love you more than all the stars, all the mangoes and all of Kavin's dinosaurs. Happy Mother's Day, Amma. Scan the code to hear Kavin say it himself.

Super Baba and His Sidekicks

For Baba (Arnab), from Tuli and Rishi, made with Ma (Mou), Kolkata. A fictional family.

A storybook hardcover in a gentle picture-book style, where every one of Baba's superpowers comes from the kids' answers. Mou typed a few answers and the kids spoke the rest as voice notes on the way home from school. The book is in English and keeps their word for him, Baba, on every page.

  1. Picture-book scene of a father fixing an upside-down bicycle on a balcony while his daughter hands him a screwdriver and his son holds a toy robot.

    Super Baba can fix anything. The fan that wobbles, the chain on Tuli's cycle, and Rishi's robot, twice. His tools live in an old biscuit tin, and only sidekicks may hold the screwdriver.

  2. Picture-book scene of a father telling a joke at the dinner table, his son laughing hard and his daughter rolling her eyes with a smile.

    His jokes are terrible. "Why did the rosogolla go to school? To become a little sweeter." Tuli groans every time. Rishi laughs every time.

  3. Picture-book scene of a father asleep on a sofa with his two children asleep on him, his red cape draped over all three like a blanket.

    Thank you for the piggyback rides, the Sunday luchi and the stories at bedtime. Happy Father's Day, Super Baba. Love, your sidekicks.

Watercolour cover of a brother and sister sitting back to back on a balcony bench, laughing, with a red and gold rakhi thread curling around them.

Dada, You're Still Annoying (and I Love You)

For Omkar, from his sister Gauri. She lives in Pune and he lives in Melbourne. Fictional people.

A 12-page card-book in soft watercolour, with a rakhi thread running through every page. Gauri answered the Rakhi questions in one sitting, mostly as voice notes, and the book keeps her Hinglish just as she said it. She had the card-book delivered to her home, posted it on with a rakhi inside, and set the digital book to unlock on Rakhi morning.

  1. Watercolour of a brother and sister playfully tugging a steel plate with one last sweet on it, at a table decorated with marigold garlands.

    Sabse funny fight? The last modak at Ganpati. Tune khaa liya, Dada, aur main abhi bhi sorry ka wait kar rahi hoon.

  2. Watercolour of a brother tiptoeing away with a phone charger while his sister catches him from the doorway, arms crossed.

    Tu hamesha mera charger le jaata tha. Mera, Aai ka, sabka. Ab tu Melbourne mein hai, toh ghar mein chargers hi chargers hain.

  3. Watercolour split scene of a sister on a balcony at sunrise and her brother at a window at night, across a soft sea, both holding up the same rakhi.

    Results ke din jab Baba naraz the, tu mere saath khada tha. Thank you, Dada. Is saal rakhi post se aa rahi hai. Promise: next year, in person.
