Gajapati Kulapati Gurrburrrrooom! published by Tulika Publishers, is the third book featuring the gentle elephant. Just like Book 1 and 2, Book 3 is filled with loud noises and laughs, too. I provide the loud noises; you provide the laughter!
But I hope that my discerning readers, after the explosive noises and laughs have died down, can see the elephantine dose of love in the Gajapati Kulapati stories.
Big noses imply big colds, large bodies make large splashes, and jumbo hearts are capable of great love. The postman, the flower seller, the banana seller, the grandmother, the teacher, the tailor, the cow, the children, and all the other denizens of the little village, love the gentle giant, and Gajapati Kulapati loves them all.
The Gajapati Kulapati stories are really about teamwork, love and co-operation. Which is the secret of social interdependence. The postman may be a trifle upset with the bananas that went PACHAAK! on his head, and the banana seller still remembers the day he was thrown on to the roof of the teacher's house, but everybody joined in to build Gajapati Kulapati's house together, and they built it with love. If Gajapati ever hurt them, it was unintentional, and they knew that he felt very bad about it later.
The third book is also about teamwork, love and co-operation. It is also about how Mom's Love solves everything. Gajapati Kulapati's best friends are Moms, and Gajapati Kulapati Gurrburrrrooom! is generally dedicated to mothers everywhere, and to my mother, in particular. My mother, who is now a great-grandmother, loves elephants,and knows all about them.
The wise grandmother was the problem-solving Supermom in the first two books, but the Supermom in Book 3 is not her, but another mom who has appeared in those books. You will know pretty soon, wait and read to find out!
