Roop and the River Crossing

Roop looked confused. 'Isn't this Hindustan...?'

Roop carries her newest toy- a kaleidoscope -everywhere. The world inside her kaleidoscope looks split up... and so does her world outside.

Around her, unfamiliar words echo: India. Pakistan. Partition. Home. Words that sound distant from her reality until one night changes everything. Roop finds herself at a riverbank, one that she must cross to find her home - her new home.
Award-winning author Samina Mishra tells a poignant tale of a dark chapter in history. Through Roop's journey, she weaves a story of connections, resilience and finding an anchor in turbulent times.
