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.
