Audiobook cover #631

#631 in the Bilingual Legends series: This colouring book's story in both English and Kumaoni.

Haruli's mother left her alone to take care of a basket full of berries they just picked. But Haruli fell asleep. When she woke up, the basket was half empty and her mother was mad! Now what will she do?

Based upon a traditional Kumaoni folktale about what the birds call out to each other, this story contains as much of a lesson for parents as it does for children.
