From the creator of the Oscar-nominated Pixar short Sanjay's Super Team and Netflix's Ghee Happy!
In Sanjay Patel's world, the bold, bright colors of India leap off the page and screen. Ganesha's Sweet Tooth introduced a fresh and funny picture book retelling of how Ganesha came to help write the epic poem of Hindu literature, the Mahabharata. Now Ganesha is back in a delightful new adventure!
When his brother Kartikeya challenges him to a race around the world, Ganesha knows he cannot win with speed. He may not be as fast as Kartikeya, but clever Ganesha knows that every problem has more than one solution! A celebration of the dynamic bond between siblings and a loving tribute to family, Ganesha’s Great Race is the story of their most famous contest and will delight readers with a tale of muscles, mangoes, and the meaning of the world.
DIVERSE CHILDRENS BOOKS: Featuring lovable characters and a light narrative, this book provides a fresh and accessible way for families who practice Hinduism to see themselves and celebrate, and for other children to learn about religions and cultures that are different from their own.
NOTABLE CREATOR: Sanjay Patel produced a short based on his life, Sanjay's Super Team, with Pixar, as well as Netflix's Ghee Happy, a series featuring the Hindu gods as toddlers. His brand, Ghee Happy, has reached an eager audience with two books, museum exhibitions, and merchandise. He is also the author of the popular picture book Ramayana, a twenty-first-century retelling of a classic 2500-year-old story.
VIBRANT & GIFTABLE: With dynamic illustrations, this story of family has a heartwarming message that makes a perfect gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day, or anytime you want to show appreciation for your family!
CULTURAL PICTURE BOOKS: As educators focus on ways to incorporate religious literacy into their teaching, Patel's vibrant books offer an outstanding resource for introducing conversations about different cultures and faiths into the classroom through fun and relatable narratives.
Perfect for:
- Parents, grandparents, teachers, and librarians
- Readers who love Hindu gods and goddesses, Indian mythology, and adventure tales
