About the Book: 

In this beautifully illustrated tale, a little crow named Koko sets out to discover the vibrant colours of his country. Along the way, he learns to embrace his own black feathers, showing young readers that every shade has its own beauty.

Written by Akhila Das Blah and illustrated by Vimal Chandran, the book is designed for children aged 3–7 years and comes with interactive elements like puzzles and cards, making it a playful and engaging experience that extends beyond the page. Through Koko’s story, young readers are encouraged to appreciate themselves, their surroundings, and the rich cultural palette of India.
