Neela and Peela are excited about Bhagoria, a wonderful carnival that the Bhil people of central India celebrate every year. An intriguing map that also tells a story, innovative signage that keeps them from losing their way, a series of wondrous sights, including a surprise that pops-out – the children discover these and more as they wind their way through the carnival grounds. Subash Amaliyar, Bhil artist from India, paints the carnival in his traditional style. Collaborating with him are writer Gita Wolf and designers Catriona Maciver and Oliver Mayes – who turn this joyous rendering of celebration into an interactive children’s book.
