Book Review

In “Hira Paints the Town“, Hira is a girl who LOVES painting, and her world is like one big rainbow. But when she gets married and moves to a new city, everything around her is dull and gray. How can anyone live without color? Luckily, Hira comes up with a brilliant plan to make her new city beautiful again using her artistic skills, turning a boring place into something magical with her paintbrush.

The story by Jaya Jaitly and the illustrations by Herra Kant in this book are absolutely amazing! The pages are full of vibrant Madhubani-style art that brings the story to life. It’s like jumping into a colorful dream. Plus, the font is perfect for young readers, though a slightly bigger font might make it even more fun to read. What’s really cool is that the pictures are inspired by traditional Indian art, so kids are not just enjoying a great story but also learning about their cultural heritage in a fun way!

In this book, technology helps solve both a personal and a community problem—a girl who dreams of painting and a city that needs some color and life. It’s amazing how the two come together so seamlessly, creating a perfect solution for both. Hira takes help from Aman who scans all of the beautiful paintings that she drew on paper and puts them in his computer. One of the best parts of the book is at the end, where there’s a space for kids to draw and color just like Hira. It’s a chance for them to become the artist and paint their own town. This makes the story super interactive, and any kid who loves art or creativity will adore this book.
