The Gifts That Grow by Monika Singh Gangotra

The Gifts That Grow by Monika Singh Gangotra and Michaela Dias-Hayes
Written by and illustrated by Monika Singh Gangotra, ‘The Gifts That Grow’ is a page children’s story book about inter-generational love. Based on a true story, this wonderful tale focusses on a Jamun tree which was planted as a gift when Amrita was born.
This tree helps her to feel more connected to her ancestors and shows that gifts of love will continue to grow, even throughout the generations. Through this story, children can learn the importance of taking care of the natural world for future generations to enjoy – even if we don’t experience the benefits ourselves.

Owlet Press was founded by Samuel Langley-Swain in 2018, working with authors and illustrators with a shared passion – picture books which reflect the true diversity in children’s lives. Focusing on the challenges children face today and packaging these big issues into inclusive and accessible stories for small readers to digest and discuss with friends, families and schools. This indie children’s book publisher aims to change the world one book at a time, along with the best authors and illustrators to tell these stories.
Owlet Press have always published books that are ‘incidentally inclusive’ from day one and look to push this further with every title. With authors and illustrators from all walks of life – diversity is the driving ethos within this publisher. Owlet believe that it is key for young readers of colour to see children like them (and for white, non-disabled children to see children that don’t always look like them) in books experiencing the joy and magic of playful, imaginative stories – a belief that we share at Babipur.
