Being a big sister to a new baby brings big responsibilities.
Sona Sharma's house is full of people who joke often and argue sometimes. Relatives come unannounced, the phone rings frequently and friends drop in all the time. Then one day Amma tells Sona she is going to have a baby. Is that good? Sona isn't sure – she has always enjoyed being an only child – and straight away she has a word with her best friend, Elephant. When Sona learns that there will be a baby naming ceremony, she is determined to find the perfect name for her new brother or sister. Because although she realizes that her life is about to change, and while she's having some difficulty in coming to terms with having to share everything with the new baby – including Amma and Appa, her grandparents and her home – Sona Sharma wants to be the very best big sister she can be.
Chitra Soundar was born in Chennai, India, resides in London, United Kingdom, and lives in imaginary worlds weaved out of stories. She has written over 20 books for children aged 3 to 10 years old. Chitra also loves to retell folktales, legends and ancient tales from the Indian sub-continent. While she dabbles in chapter books, her first love is picture books. Farmer Falgu Goes on a Trip is her third book in India, and her first book with Karadi Tales. Soon Farmer Falgu will be going places with his charm and good humour. Her work is inspired by the noisy and colourful India, the culture and history of ancient tribes and the stories that pass down from one generation to the next. Many of her stories revolve around animals, families and cultural motifs. She is often inspired by visits to the many museums in London and walking around the ancient streets reading blue plaques.
