Books with title The Party

This story is a gem representing the delightful stories from the Indian subcontinent which capture the simple essence of everyday life in rural/urban India. The simple pleasures of life indicate a time gone by before the advent of cellphones and Facebook, a time which almost stood still, a time where children could revel in the rain, make paper boats and race them down a drain, play marbles, and generally pass time. The once idyllic life almost seems too slow to bear and hence is fascinating to watch unfurl as we hear the story.

Rose and Valentina both love pink. But whenever Rose gets something pink, Valentina gets something even pinker! Rose secretly thinks Valentina is becoming a show-off, but she’s afraid to tell her. When Valentina gives the pinkest party ever, Rose can’t keep quiet any longer. She says what she thinks, and both friends decide that not everything is perfect in pink.Originally published as a chapter book by Hyperion Books for Children in 1994, the text has been reimagined as a picture book.
