The Flute by Rachna Gilmore
Written by Governor General Award-winning author Rachna Gilmore and illustrated by Pula Biswas, one of India's most well-known illustrators, The Flute tells the story of a little girl who gets caught up in a swollen river overflowing its banks and nearly drowns. Tragically, her mother and father are swept away in the flood and the little girl is raised by a cruel and uncaring aunt and uncle, but manages to find solace in her mother's magic flute. Memorably illustrated, The Flute tells an exquisite story of resilience and hope.
