The Insect Boy by Shobha Viswanath, illustrated by Monami Roy, was shortlisted for the Jarul Book Award 2020. This two-way book explores the world of insects from two different perspectives but with the same child.

The Jarul book award is a children’s choice award which makes this even more special. Children from kindergarten to grade five are given a chance to read and vote for the best book. Previous titles of ours that have won this award are The Night Monster (2017), and Dada’s Useless Present (2018), and Papa’s Marathon (2019).
