Jamlo Walks: An Illustrated Book about Life During Lockdown

This book is one of the best things I’ve read in my life. And I read a lot ! Please read it. It’s not just for children. Everyone should read it. We all have something to learn from this story.

I would say that everyone must read book. It narrates the story of a girl Jamla who walks back to her hometown. A good story which can be narrated to small children.A book which teaches the children values and morale.

The story of Jamlo, a child, like many across the country had to make the long trek back home as the pandemic-induced lockdown hit, touches the heart like no other. It also documents an important era in the history of humanity - the pandemic, lockdown and its consequences for children. It is a must have on every child's bookshelf.

It is quite narrative for younger children. Children above the age of 8 would be able to understand this better. However, it is a conversation that is much needed. The author has done a brilliant job at depicting the lives of children belonging to different walks of life through one story.

Meant for children, it's a book to be read by all.

Great illustrations, true story, essential read as even after a year ,the country is in a similar state heading into a complete lockdown with statistics worse than last year. Jamlo's story makes for compulsory reading for kids and grown up s to acknowledge the ordeals fa ed by daily wage labourers,for when we realise their difficulties, the first step to helping them in ways possible dawns automatically.

This book is a must read for our kids during this lockdown to know the reality going around us.

Heart wrenching true story. However only 3 stars as it contains anti BJP propoganda like 'people were given only few hours to prepare for the lockdown'.This book could have served as a mirror for Indians if written in a neutral manner. The subject is worthy of a well researched thesis for PhD
