The Blue Jackal

About this book

Juno the jackal is the runt of the pack and the other animals bully him because of his size. One night Juno is chased by some dogs from the village and he hides in a vat of indigo dye to escape. When he returns to the forest his fur is bright blue and the animals hail this strange new creature as their king. But can Juno keep his true identity hidden? Featuring illustrations inspired by traditional Warli artwork and an informative historical note this Indian folktale will spark a wonderful discussion about the relationship between perception and reality.
