Book Review
‘To begin with ….the little things..’ is all about the little things the author has learnt in the last few years. The book is a small effort to bring forth her learning in the form of stories and poems. The stories are inspired by everyone around Abhijita and how little things like being honest, being humble, being a good friend and standing together for what is right has made her book special. The book is a ray of hope especially for those young readers who have been confined to their homes and digital screen.
