‘The shock of spilling out from Delhi airport into the cow-lined streets was incredible. I fell immediately in love with the beauty of the doe-eyed white cows and the noisy yellow taxis that swerved to avoid them. The visual impact of everything raining down on me at once was an impression I tucked away, ready to bring alive when I began writing my first story, Asha and the Spirit Bird. I wanted to transport my readers into the drama of her world.

In Delhi, once the heat of the day had relented, we quickly discovered the best dhabba (street food) stalls. My memories of batter splashed into hot oil to make the wonderfully fragrant pakora went into the mouthwatering food scenes in that book and my second, Tamarind and the Star of Ishta.’ - Jasbinder Bilan

Asha and the Spirit Bird by Jasbinder Bilan

*Whistles long and low*...This book has seriously won a lot of prestigious awards by exciting debut author, Jasbinder Bilan. I mean, dang, that front cover of this book is just gorgeous for starters - beautifully illustrated in eye-catching, vibrant colours. It’s definitely a book that’s been in my eye line for many months and with spending more time at home lately, I wanted to take my time with it and savour reading every page.

Asha lives in the foothills of the Himalayas with her family and best friend, Jeevan. Asha’s father works away from home, but when she finds out that there’s been no word from him, or any money sent, for several months she immediately knows that something is wrong. With the family now owing some big debts, she decides to take action and embarks on a long and difficult journey with Jeevan across India to find her father and bring him home. And with her Nanajee - the spirit bird of her grandmother - along side her, hope is never far away. But will it be enough?

This is a stunningly written book with lyrical language which oozes many rich, detailed descriptions that plonk you right into the story and close to Asha. This book is a brilliant insight into Indian culture and the Hindu faith, which is sadly, usually so absent in middle grade children’s fiction. Asha and the Spirit Bird truly is a magical, spiritual story that shows us both the good and bad of human nature. And Asha’s brave perseverance makes her a formidable and inspiring hero to all readers.

As an aside, I was ecstatic to find out recently that Bilan’s next book, Tamarind And The Star Of Ishta, comes out on 3rd September (MY BIRTHDAY) this year. I've no doubt that this new book will be as breathtaking as the last and I’ll be hauled up on my sofa, engrossed, once more!

Clínica del libro: ¿Qué libros ayudan a los niños de Asperger a comprender a los demás? El | Libros

P: Mi hijo de 11 años tiene la enfermedad de Asperger. y les resulta muy difícil relacionarse con los demás y comprender las convenciones sociales. ¿Qué novelas infantiles le darían la mejor idea de cómo funcionan los demás? Anónimo, 44 ​​años, Cardiff

A: Jasbinder Bilan es el autor de Asha Y el pájaro espiritual, ganadora del libro infantil Costa 2019 Premio. Ella escribe:

Comprendernos y explicar por qué hacemos las cosas es un desafío para la mayoría de los adolescentes. Entonces, cuando esta fase difícil de la vida se asocia con una necesidad adicional como la de Asperger, las novelas pueden ayudarnos a aprender. Vivir la vida a través de los ojos de tu personaje desarrolla empatía. Leer juntos brinda la oportunidad de discutir la historia y hacer la pregunta general: ¿qué harían por ellos?

El primero es un clásico que a mis hijos les encantó: Michael Morpurgo Sólo sobre un mar ancho y ancho. La belleza de esta historia de un huérfano que viaja solo en Australia es la cantidad de personas y situaciones nuevas que Arthur conoce y la forma en que las trata.

El niño con espíritu de mariposa. por Victoria Williamson da una idea de la vida de Jamie, que sufre de TDAH, y Elin mientras navegan por la dinámica familiar y hacen grandes cambios, ayudándose mutuamente para ayudarse mutuamente aceptar lo que realmente son.

La justicia social causa fuertes sentimientos en los niños y Here I Stand considera la vida de los jóvenes y sus libertades.

La adolescencia es una cuestión de confianza, así que Introduce tu poder por Jamia Wilson es un maravilloso manual para ayudarlo a convertirse en la persona que desea ser. Úselo para discutir lo que es importante para su hijo y ayudarlo a navegar por su mundo.

Cuando Fred, Con, Lila y Little Max lanzan bombas y fracasan en el Amazonas, tienen que trabajar juntos para sobrevivir. De Katherine Rundell El explorador da la oportunidad de viajar a un mundo nuevo lleno de emoción y peligro, en esta historia de aventura y amistad.

Ahora o nunca: una historia de Dunkerque por Bali Rai se basa en hechos reales. Sigue a Fazal Khan de la Compañía 32 en un viaje desde su hogar en el norte de India hasta los campos de batalla de Francia durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Finalmente, la justicia social es algo que causa fuertes sentimientos en los niños, y Aquí estoy, escrito por una variedad de escritores excepcionales para niños, brinda la oportunidad de profundizar en la vida de los jóvenes y sus libertades, explorando algunos temas convincentes pero necesarios.
