Author Reading: Uma Krishmaswami Chachaji’s CupPlease join us for a special children’s event as Barnes & Noble and Making Books Sing presents Uma Krishmaswami reading from her book, Chachaji’s Cup. It’s a special event you won’t want to miss!
Chachaji’s Cup is a gentle tale of family love and the power of memory, brought to life with richly hued paintings. Neel loves listening to Chachaji’s stories over steaming cups of tea. Chachaji’s tales of great Hindu gods and demons, and of his adventures in the Indian Army, leave Neel openmouthed. But it is the tale of his great-uncle’s favorite teacup that teaches Neel the most, for Chachaji’s cup holds far more than sweet, spicy masala chai. It holds the story of a family and a country split in two during the 1947 partition of India and Pakistan. When the precious cup and Chachaji’s health both prove to be more fragile than they look, Neel knows what he must do.
