When Adil Speaks Words Dance
An evocative story of two friends, and their willingness to understand each other better.
Everyone wants to be friends with Adil. But how do you start a conversation with someone when their words dance to music you cannot hear?
When Adil Speaks, Words Dance is a heart-warming tale of empathy, inclusivity and the surprising superpowers of friendship.
As a child, Lavanya Karthik spent all her time writing stories in her school notebooks and drawing the pictures to go with them. She is now a slightly older child, still making up stories and drawing pictures. You can find her wandering about the bylanes of Mumbai, nibbling on chocolate, chatting with street dogs and looking for her next book idea. She is the author of several books, including Neel on Wheels, A Walk with Thambi and The Lion's Feast, and is the creator of the Ninja Nani series.
