Two Magical Sisters

Namasthe, everybody!
I'll be reviewing Mister Jeejeebhoy and the Birds by Anitha Balachandran today.
When Tara and chip-obsessed Diya move into their aunt Ninamasi's house, they hardly expect strange noises, living photographs, strange mirrors and weird noises coming from all over the house!
But no one in the town wants to be their friend. They have ten thousand excuses and claim that Ninamasi's house is strange.
At least Diya and Tara have Mr. Jeejeebhoy's sweet shop next door, filled with yummy sweets- gulab jamuns, burfis, rasmalai and everything in between!
That's when the sisters find out that they have magical powers!  But when Mr. Jeejeebhoy's sweet shop closes down for a strange reason, will Diya and Tara be able to use their magical powers to help him? And will they ever make friends with all the other kids?
This i a sweet story about two sisters who manage to use their peculiarities to do something good and to help people. The illustrations are very colourful and vibrant as well as beautiful. However, this book may have to be read by parents to younger children as some of the words may be unknown. This book is very creative and the detailed pictures are guaranteed to keep kids enraptured in the story. This is the perfect read-aloud book and can be read young children who have begun to read.
Anitha Balachandran is an Indian author, animator and artist.
I recommend this book for preschoolers and ages 5 and above.
