Mother Steals a Bicycle and Other Stories - Short Story Collection for Book Lovers | Perfect for Reading, Book Clubs & Literary Discussions

We’re so happy to have been able to add this beautiful book to our family library. It offers a poignant reading experience, filled with entertaining stories a mother narrates about her childhood to her own daughter and exquisite artwork by Tejubehan, a self-taught Indian folk artist. The stories are quite straightforward beginning with the narrator’s daughter’s jealousy at her mother’s childhood adventures, and the mother telling her the simple yet sublime stories of traveling to school as a child in rural South India, her temporary obsession with peacock feathers, and, of course, about maybe-kinda stealing a bicycle. This isn’t a long book but it’s content-rich, and the reader can spend just as long looking at all of the detailed illustrations as reading the text. I’m very grateful for all of the laughs it's provided and will continue providing because it's a book you can enjoy again and again.
