Title: The Birth of Ganga
Product review: This is a wonderfully written and illustrated book of a traditional Hindu story. Harish Johari tells of how Ganga came to earth, fearful of being polluted only to find her waters were thought of as purifying. There is a story within this entire story, which adds to the fun of reading this. The artwork in this book is exceptionally beautiful as well. This is definitely a bedtime story book as parents will enjoy helping their child read this and smaller children will enjoy hearing the story then, retelling it through the illustrations in their own words. I originally purchased this book for the illustrations, as I am interested in art, but found, as an adult, the story to be very interesting and enjoyable. I would recommend this book to others who are interested in art, as well as anyone who does not have any insight into traditional Indian children's stories.
