A hard-hitting book on what the lockdown did to the people of
India, particularly its young citizens · Discusses the importance
of recognizing injustice and inequality in our day to day
interactions · For ages 7 and up, the book shows the impact the
2020 lockdown had on Indian, particularly migrant labourers and
children · Powerfully illustrated and sensitively told to create
an important tool for parents and educators to help young readers
question how we treat each other It is day 7 of the lockdown and
everyone says the skies are blue again. Jamlo walks. She looks
straight at the road ahead. It is long. The world has stood still.
The streets lie empty and schools are closed. All work has dried up
and people keep whispering the word 'corona' all the time. Jamlo
walks down a long and hot road, alongside hundreds of other men and
women and children whom Tara sees on TV. Jamlo walks as Rahul
watches the streets turn quiet. Jamlo walks and walks in a world
that needs to be kind and just and equal. A world where all lives
are seen as important.
