Description
Book Synopsis: Tushar thinks his name is too unusual. Can his mom convince him to keep it? And will he really catch fish in a golf course when they move from New York City to the suburbs? These are just some of the questions raised in the heartwarming recollections of Shaku Atre, born in India, who chased her dream job to the U.S. but always made raising her children her highest priority.
Detailing events in her son’s childhood mainly during the ages of four through seven, Mrs. Atre immerses readers in Tushar’s amusing adventures, which often include his little sister, Nisha. They might also include the children’s unofficially adopted German “grandparents” or their Indian grandmother. Young readers will enjoy finding out such things as:
- Why doesn’t toddler Tushar recognize his father?
- How does Tushar feel about his little sister?
- Does Tushar make friends in his new neighborhood?
- Why does Tushar refuse to ride the school bus?
- Does Tushar triumph over prejudices?
These true tales will transport readers into the world of a loving, multicultural, real family. Since they are written by a mother from her own perspective, the book brims with her honest feelings of happiness, concern, and regret. Charming black-and-white illustrations help each chapter come alive.
Whether dealing with an issue pertinent to immigrants (such as learning the language of one’s new country) or an issue common to all kids, A Boy Named Tushar will both entertain and enrich readers of all ages.
