Kali and the Rat Snake

Kali hates school, and he feels like school hates him too, since he has no friends. His classmates think he’s strange. He wishes his father were a regular bus conductor or postman, instead of a famous snake-catcher from the Irula tribe. He’s embarrassed that others might laugh at him for eating fried termites, his favorite snack. But then, one day, a large rat snake causes chaos in the classroom… This is a simple, heartfelt story by a writer who is deeply connected to environmental issues.
