About the Book

Bhajju and the Tick-Tock Clock is a delightful children’s story by Jaya Jaitly, beautifully illustrated in the traditional Gond style by Kaushal Prasad Tekam. The story follows Bhajju, a young forest-dweller who spends his carefree days in harmony with his animal friends, without ever needing to worry about time. However, one day, he finds himself in a situation where he must understand the concept of time and face the tick-tock clock. Will Bhajju be able to adapt to this new and unfamiliar world of timekeeping?

This enchanting tale explores themes of time, cultural differences, and the limitless power of imagination. Through Bhajju's journey, children are introduced to the idea of time in a gentle, creative way, helping them understand the contrast between natural, carefree living and the structured world of clocks. The story is not just an exploration of time, but also a celebration of cultural diversity and imagination, making it a perfect read for young minds.
