A Pair of Twins

Age range 6 to 9 An elephant and a little girl are born on the same day - and their connection lasts a lifetime. Lakshmi and Sundari are an unusual pair of twins with an unusual connection...But not everyone knows how special they are until they're both called upon to save the day. Kavitha Mandana tells this story with brilliance and warmth, while Nayantara Surendranath lends vibrancy to it with her magnificent artwork. 'From the striking cover illustrations to the final image, the artwork is outstanding. Swirling scarves, elephant trucks, and intricate designs beg for careful examination...children will want to know more about Rajas and Maharanis, howdahs and mahouts.' - School Library Journal
