The MAGIC in MY FINGERS - Nandita Da Cunha

If Roohi’s mischievous brother doesn’t attend his sitar practice then Baba won’t take him to the market. And Roohi won’t get the kite she so badly wants. Tap. Tap. Baba is getting loser. Can Roohi keep him from losing his temper? A daring idea strikes her. Will it work - or will it reveal a secret gift Roohi has kept from all.. Nandita da Cunha’s lyrical prose along with striking illustrations by Nayantara Surendranath and Kanimozhi A tells a charming tale about how a young girl discovers the magic in her fingers in more ways than one. The story is loosely based on a legendary childhood incident in the life of sitar and surbahar maestro Annapurna Devi. The book includes a note about her often-overlooked life at the end. This is a story that challenges traditional gender roles and celebrates the magic of music.
