Do!
Published by Tara Books, ‘Do!’ written by Gita Wolf, illustrated by Ramesh Hengadi, Rasika Hengadi, Shantaram Dhadpe and Kusum Dhadpe, is a delightful children’s book which won the Bologna Ragazzi Award at The Bologna Children’s Book Fair in 2010. I love the simplicity of it on so many levels…
The book features the art from the Warli tribal community of painters in Maharashtra, Western India. “The idea for Do! came from the observation that people in Warli painting are active all the time, always doing something. It’s a beautiful and dynamic art form, ideal for children’s picture books, and I’m delighted that the book has won such a prestigious award”, said author Gita Wolf. The book is silkscreened and entirely made by hand, as seen in the video below…
