This review is from: Karna: The Greatest Archer in the World (Hardcover)
This book is amazing to read. We are not from a Hindu background so the children and the parents in our family didn't know this story and I'm so happy that we do now! When I read my Guru's words I'm happy that I know many of the people she talks about just from reading this children's book!

This review is from: Karna: The Greatest Archer in the World (Hardcover)
Karna: The Greatest Archer in the World is a children's picturebook based on a classic East Indian story from the Mahabharata. Karna: The Greatest Archer in the World is the story of a boy born to the Queen when she was much too young to care for a child; she sent him away, to be raised by poor and humble yet loving parents. He became entangled in a terrible war, and though the mystery of his birth was finally revealed, the truth came too late to prevent tragedy. Karna: The Greatest Archer in the World does not gloss over the sorrow, pain, and death present in the original Mahabharata tale, yet it also celebrates the brilliance, love, and loyalty in Karna's life. A welcome introduction to other cultures for young readers, illustrated in a style reminiscent of traditional Indian artwork; the text is sufficiently involved as to be on the level of chapter books. Highly recommended.
