My Neighbour Uncle Dodo

(Author: Mila Kahlon | Illustrator: Kruttika Susarla)

A warm, whimsical picture book set in Mumbai that celebrates intergenerational friendship, curiosity, kindness, and finding magic in everyday life.

When curious little Nuri moves into her new apartment in Mumbai, she notices the most unusual neighbor living right across her window: Uncle Dodo. He is a long-haired, bearded bird whisperer, a passionate tree hugger, a moon watcher, a yoga pretzel, and an avid collector of everyday treasures.

Stepping into Uncle Dodo’s strange and wonderful world, Nuri enters a life filled with endless wonder. From feeding noisy green parrots at sunrise and making homemade strawberry jam to talking to ancient trees and filling his home with cats, crystals, books, and laughter, Uncle Dodo turns ordinary moments into magical adventures.

Written with gentle humor by Mila Kahlon and delightfully illustrated by award-winning artist Kruttika Susarla, My Neighbour Uncle Dodo is a heartwarming tribute to the quirky, kind-hearted people who make growing up truly unforgettable.
