Looking for Lord Ganesh

Looking for Lord Ganesh

Author(s): Mahtab Narsimhan, Sonja Wimmer (Illustrator)

Location(s): India

Genre(s): Children

Era(s): N/A

Anika has recently emigrated from India and is having a difficult time adjusting to life in a new country not to mention life in a new school.

Remembering the advice her grandmother gave her, she prays to Lord Ganesh, the Hindu elephant god. But Lord Ganesh is slow to respond and Anika takes to the internet to attract his attention. When her problems begin to resolve themselves, she can breathe a sigh of relief. But has Lord Ganesh truly been helping her, or has she been relying on her own inner wisdom all along?

This is a sweet and witty story about staying true to one’s beliefs and finding strength in unlikely places.
