In her debut short story collection, Dhrubi takes the readers on a fascinating journey of what it is to see the world through the eyes of an 8-year-old. In The Giant Feather, her attempt to place the perennial conflict of man versus environment and her belief in the ultimate triumph of the birds clearly depict the hope and aspiration of a child for a better tomorrow where every life matters. In The Girl Who Wished to Fly, Dhrubi unleashes the imagination of a child with abandon. There is nothing impossible in Diamond’s world and when she tells her parents that so many adventures await her and that she wants to do whatever she desires, it captures the courage that children possess to pursue the unforeseen. The Missing Pen reminds us that the greatest joys in life are found in the simplest of things and what seems like a non-issue to an adult is sometimes very valuable for a child. In the last story, The Author in a Meadow, Dhrubi reflects on her own desire to be an author and reminds the reader of the importance of passion in achieving one’s goals.
