Twenty-two deities, one to a page, each named in Tamil and English – so while your child colours Pillaiyar's ears or Murugan's peacock, they are also learning what to call him in their mother tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery page has a small full-colour guide picture in the corner. Children who want to get it \"right\" can copy the traditional colours; children who want a purple Hanuman can ignore it completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we made it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are Ramanath and Akalya, Tamil parents raising our family in the UK. We watched children around us grow up far from home and slowly lose the language, the temple visits and the stories. Asking a young child to read, write and repeat rarely works. Colouring does: a child will happily spend twenty or thirty minutes on a single picture, and what they colour, they remember. This book is our way of putting our culture into small hands, one page at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 22 gods and goddesses inside\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePillaiyar (Ganesha) · Murugan · Parvati · Shiva · Varahi Amman · Vishnu · Lakshmi · Saraswathi · Kuberan · Bhairava · Brahma · Ayyappan · Hanuman · Lakshmi Narayana · Nandi · Lingam · Ayyanar · Ravana · Kamadhenu · Nataraja · Krishna · Radha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will find the deities Tamil families actually grow up with – Murugan, Ayyanar, Varahi Amman, Ayyappan – not only the handful that appear in every general Hindu coloring book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ 22 detailed line-art colouring pages, one deity per page\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Each name printed in Tamil script and English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Colour guide thumbnail on every page\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ A4 size, 28 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ About and disclaimer pages in both Tamil and English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat age is it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges 4+, with a grown-up nearby. The drawings are detailed – jewellery, crowns, temple arches – so younger children will colour broadly and enjoy it, while 7 to 12 year olds (and quite a few parents) will take their time over the fine lines. If you want very simple, chunky outlines for a toddler, this is not that book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes my child need to read Tamil?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Every name is in English too, so it works for children who speak Tamil at home, children just starting Tamil school, and children who have not started yet. It also makes an easy gift for Navaratri golu, Deepavali, Thai Pongal, birthdays and Tamil school prize days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by Luxury Pai Ltd.
