"It's 1978, and Maya Mukherjee is the only brown-skinned middle schooler in her tiny Manitoba town. Born in India and raised in the land of moose and snow, she feels neither Indian enough for Indians nor Canadian enough for Canadians. She longs to fit in, and she years for Jamie Klassen, the local bad boy with the John Travolta strut. Then Maya's beautiful cousin arrives from India bearing the scent of sandalwood and her most treasured possession--the statue of Ganesh. When Pinky steals Jamie's heart, Maya pleads with Ganesh to remove all obstacles to her happiness, a plea that backfires in hilarious and painful ways. She must journey across continents to find the truth, her culture, and herself."--

Concurrent with increasing scholarly attention toward national children’s literatures, Contemporary English-language Indian Children’s Literature explores an emerging body of work that has thus far garnered little serious critical attention. Superle critically examines the ways Indian children’s writers have represented childhood in relation to the Indian nation, Indian cultural identity, and Indian girlhood. From a framework of postcolonial and feminist theories, children’s novels published between 1988 and 2008 in India are compared with those from the United Kingdom and North America from the same period, considering the differing ideologies and the current textual constructions of childhood at play in each. Broadly, Superle contends that over the past twenty years an aspirational view of childhood has developed in this literature—a view that positions children as powerful participants in the project of enabling positive social transformation. Her main argument, formed after recognizing several overarching thematic and structural patterns in more than one hundred texts, is that the novels comprise an aspirational literature with a transformative agenda: they imagine apparently empowered child characters who perform in diverse ways in the process of successfully creating and shaping the ideal Indian nation, their own well-adjusted bicultural identities in the diaspora, and/or their own empowered girlhoods. Michelle Superle is a Professor in the department of Communications at Okanagan College. She has taught children’s literature, composition, and creative writing courses at various Canadian universities and has published articles in Papers and IRCL.
In a world that often demands conformity, there are children, teenagers, and young adults who dare to carve out their own unique paths. This collection of 12 short stories offers a heartfelt exploration of their journeys—those who struggle to find acceptance in a society that labels them as differently abled. Each story delves into the lives of these courageous individuals, highlighting the challenges they face and the triumphs they achieve as they navigate a world that doesn't always understand them. But these stories are not just about the young trailblazers. They also shine a light on the parents, siblings, and other family members who walk alongside them, whose own lives are transformed as they learn to support and embrace the changes in their loved ones. Through moments of doubt, fear, and ultimately, hope, these stories capture the essence of resilience and the beauty of forging a new path, one that is uniquely their own. This collection is a reminder that while the journey may be difficult, there is strength in embracing who you truly are, and there is always love and understanding waiting to light the way.
