Description

When her friend's cat, Kaapi, gets lost, Dip Dip goes off to look for it - on the road, inside dustbins, under bushes, everywhere. And when Kaapi finally climbs up a tree and can't come down, the only thing to do is... A delightfully told story of a spirited little girl for whom being in a wheelchair stops her from nothing, not even climbing trees!

Reviews

"Like a ray of sunshine this book sets off to dispel the stereo type images of handicapped children... A beautifully packaged story, with eye-catching detailed illustrations, the book although conveying a strong message, does it with a soft velvet glove!" --Young India Books
"Several turns make the book a must-read... Yes, Dip Dip needs help -- she is no super-kid -- but that should not take anything away from what she wants to or how she wants to do it. She is another naughty, tousled-haired kid. She is the kid you chide for teasing friends, breaking a window pane, and well, going after a cat. Tharini Viswanath picks the right words to tell you that, and Nancy Raj captures the exuberance of the story in her expressive illustrations." --The Hindu
