A Puncture in the Fairy Tale - Defeating Bullies, Igniting Hope

By: Tejal Shah - Archita Pandya

Children find that not every demand of theirs can be fulfilled. Ridicule, rejection, provocation; they find themselves victims of at least one or the other. And they experience, for the first time, what it feels to be dejected. The memory of this experience remains vividly with them for the rest of their lives. In the voice of the narrator, Shanaya, the reader will find glimpses of their own childhood. This is a story about the challenges one faces at every step of childhood and how, through a simple approach, one can mount these challenges in order to awaken their inner confidence. Steering clear of dishing out dry and monotonous advice, this story takes its young readers along through Shanaya’s journey and its various episodes with the hope that children can reflect on their own personal journeys and find the motivation to take charge of the path ahead. And while it is a story about kids and for kids, we truly believe that any person of any age will find their inner child enjoying the adventures of Shanaya and her friends.
