SARVOTHAM SELLS BOOKS

THE STORY OF T. S. SHANBHAG

Written by M. Young-Scholten & M. Wilkinson Illustrated by Connie Gaunt

Sarvotham sells books in Mumbai.

His shop is small.

His shop has many books.

Books on every wall.

Books on every table.

Books on the floor.

People come to the shop.

People read for hours.

People stay and read the books.

People with no money borrow the books.

Sarvotham’s rent goes up.

He closes the bookshop. He sells the books.

He gives the money to libraries all over Mumbai.

‘People should read,’ he says.

The bookshop is a fancy bar.

Is anyone reading?
