Bengaluru
based award winning children's author
Asha Nehemiah is out with a new book for early readers. Part of Duckbill(PRH)
Hook Book series, The Grand Chapati Contest is a delectable tale around the
simple chapati. Chetan Sharma's illustrations are captivating and Asha's story
engages the readers till the end. Asha Nehemiah shares more about her book
written in simple language for 5-7 years.
1. What inspired you to write The Grand Chapati Contest?
I’m quite an adventurous and experimental cook. I can make fancy cakes and biryanis and even my hand-rolled lasagna sheets! But I’ve always failed miserably at making soft, round chapatis. That’s what gave me the idea. I had to set the story in a palace – because who else but a queen could organise a ‘Grand Chapati Contest’?
4. Which is your favourite illustration from the book? Why?
Chetan Sharma, the illustrator, has done a superb job. His illustrations have added so much fun and humour to the chapati contest. My favourite illustration in the book is the one where one of the cooks gets carried away by the huge fluffy chapati he has made (also appears on the cover). There are delightful details, like one shoe falling off. The look of surprise on the elephant’s face… so much to pore over.
5. Food appears as a central theme in many of your books. Are you a foodie? Do you enjoy cooking for others? What is your relationship with food?
Yes, I am a foodie. I enjoy cooking for my family and friends. They usually pester me for desserts and cakes. Spending time with family over meals is very special to me. We love eating together. On holidays, every meal usually ends with a discussion about what we’re going to eat for the next meal!
6. Anything
else your fans should know about the book?
That I have written it especially for emerging readers. So, it is meant for children transitioning from picture books and beginning to read independently. Also, they should look for the illustrator, Chetan Sharma, making a cameo appearance in the book.
7. You have
been writing picture books and chapter books in the past. Do you ever intend
writing MG and YA books.
