Shruthi Rao

Kadooboo! Golden brown, puffy, sweet, and crunchy, it’s fresh from the pan ― a delicious treat! As soon as it’s ready, Kabir runs home with some to share. He’s got to be quick, before the rain! But wait … can he remember the treat’s name? (His Amma is sure to ask!) As Kabir makes his way, the sights and sounds of the street and interactions with friends start to jumble his memory. This modern retelling of a South Indian folktale blends playful wordplay with delightfully quick pacing in a story about friends, family, and food ― the perfect recipe for a satisfying story time.
