The Great Rifasa - Written by Rohini Nilekani and Illustrated by Sangeetha Kadur
Storytelling and Illustration Workshop. Join Sangeetha Kadur, as she tells the story of "The Great Rifasa" through her illustrations and leads children to imagine their own version of the story and illustrate it with her guidance. Suitable for Children Aged 6 years - 10 yearsNothing seemed right in the Kabini forest — the monsoon hadn’t come and the human tourists in their safari jeeps seemed to have disappeared as well. The animals of Kabini get together to begin their own safari. A fun story, from a unique perspective, about the far-reaching impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Animals in national parks share a close relationship with humans, and are accustomed to humans encroaching on their homes for a glimpse into their lives. But what happened when nationwide lockdowns restricted humans from going on safaris and gave the animals unexpected freedom to move about as they liked in their natural habitat?
The Great Rifasa flips the usual outside-in narrative around, exploring the perspective of the residents of Kabini Forest in Karnataka and bringing to life the puzzled reactions of the forest’s inhabitants to the sudden disappearance of their regular visitors.
Storybooks on wildlife for children are important, because they spread the message of compassion and empathy from a young age.
