“Meera knows exactly where she belongs: in her fishing village, where the city meets the sea. Her love for it opens a gentle family conversation about what home really means.”
A plucky girl, a fishing village and one monster of a building.
Where I Belong: Meera's Village by the Sea is a heartfelt picture book about a girl whose fishing village is threatened by a giant building.
Meera loves her life in the Koliwada, a fishing village tucked between a city and the sea. Her days are full of mending nets, sorting fish and plenty of mischief. Then a monster building begins to rise, and Aaji fears a new road will swallow up their village. Can Meera find a way to save her home?

- Bold, textured paintings of sea and sky, from thieving egrets to a glowing sunset.
