The stories deal with issues of children’s development and their relationships with those around them. According to the Daily News & Analysis E-paper, Adithi says, “children can’t spell out their problems. Through this book, we try to tell readers about a child’s psychology. The book also helps instill in children some of the lessons that life teaches us all, but without any moral tones whatsoever.”
