Electric birds of Pothakudi.
Written by Karthika Nair.
Illustrated by Joëlle Jolivet.
Tate Gallery, 2025.
First published in French by Hélium / Actes Sud 2022.
Sophisticated picture book.
Inspired by a true story about a family of birds nesting
in a village's streetlamp, this poetic picture book is a moving exploration of
community, solidarity, ecology, and the preservation of wildlife.
Sparked (sorry) by a true story – this is a community and
nature centric story which is solidly (and magically) set in rural India.
