Weaving a coming-of-age story in a graphic novel using Madhubani art and chhota Nagpuri Hindi
The graphic novel, for children and young adults, is the brainchild of designer Raj Kumari and her screenwriter husband Varun Grover.
A 12-year-old boy has to leave a familiar world — his village, family and friends — behind and move to a new village to attend a missionary boarding school. It is here that he makes new friends, finds seniors and teachers who guide him, and adjusts to new norms and rituals. Life in Jharkhand’s Gumla teach him new things each day and the five years that he spends there to make the coming-of-age story of Biksu (Jugnoo Prakashan, Rs 525).
