Prita goes to India - Prodeepta Das

Seven year-old Prita has come to India for the first time, with her parents and her elder sister, to visit their many relatives. She is fascinated by everything, from the Taj Mahal to the village shrines in Orissa, where her parents were born; from delicious green coconuts to market stalls filled with savory snacks; but above all, by the way of the daily life of her relatives. Some of it is like her life at home ? but much of it is very different. India, and Pritta, come alive in this absorbing book that offers a rare child's-eye-view of another country and culture.
