The Great Snake Boat Race

By Monica Kumar

Jay & Juhi - The Great Snake Boat Race is a culturally immersive picture book that brings students on a magical journey to the lush, water-filled landscape of Kerala, India--home to one of the world's most vibrant and unique sporting traditions: the Nehru Trophy Snake Boat Race.

What begins as a simple backyard activity--floating paper boats with their father--quickly becomes an educational adventure. When Jay and Juhi learn about the long, narrow wooden snake boats of India, their curiosity takes flight. With the help of their magical flute, Soori, the siblings are transported to the backwaters of Kerala, where they meet a new friend, Vinay, and discover the beauty and rhythm of life along India's longest lake, Vembanad Lake.
