Here are some pictures of places where our new book is from. (The book with pictures of pumpkins that I showed you yesterday). There are some pictures of a tribe. This tribe is where the story came from. They have been telling this story for many years.

Questions to talk about with your parents:

What can you see in the pictures?

What part of the world do you think this is? Why?

How do you think the Irula people live their life?

Have you seen beautiful mountains and lakes like these before?

Can you describe the buildings or the people’s clothes?

How do these pictures make you feel?

If you hadn’t already guessed, these pictures are taken in India and the Irula Tribe live in Tamil Nadu and Kerela. Look at the map of the world below to see where India is.
