Best Friends Forever

About the Book

The book is co-authored by Anika, a 11year old girl in the USA and her grandfather, Raja Tatha, living in Bangalore. This was an online effort by them during the Covid months. They took turns to write a few paragraphs each to shape the stories. Each was given freedom to let their imagination fly but adhere to a logical flow. The stories are about school and college friends in general. Teachers or parents also play an important role. The students' love for poetry, music and other art forms are described while the two boys have a burning passion for science as well. The stories show the children growing up over the years. Each story has a message to share in the end.
