Nina Sabnani's storytelling house is an unusual stand-up book
which unfolds visual narratives like multiple windows on a computer screen! She brilliantly adapts a traditional storytelling from India
and creates an interactive book with a contemporary look and feel.


The Kaavad is a portable wooden shrine used by traditional storytellers in Rajasthan, India. Its many-hinged panels display vibrantly painted scenes from local myths and folktales. The Kaavadiya Bhat narrates the stories, opening up each painted
panel as he goes along, pointing each figure with a peacock
feather. Through the stories he reinforces inter-connections
within his community and establishes his own space in it.

In much the same way, Nina invites readers, young and old,
to use her storytelling house. Her words and pictures inspire
discussions around ideas of home, family, identity and
belonging. HOME opens windows for communication in
any language, anywhere in the world. - from Amzon
