Dadaji's Paintbrush Reviews

this touching picture-book story of love, loss and acceptance is illustrated with glowing tenderness and warmth * Guardian *
Filled with heart, hope and the joy of creativity -- Serena Patel
A moving portrayal of grief... Mhasane's clever illustrations reflect the boy's sadness, and how life and joy let the colour back in * The Bookseller *
An extraordinary work for every shelf * School Library Journal *
Via Sirdeshpande's restrained but deeply empathic narrative voice and Mhasane's digitally enhanced colored pencil and pastel pictures, which capture light in almost incandescent colors, this proves a moving tribute to the role of mentors and memory in a young artist's life, as well as to what time and attention can bring about * Publishers Weekly *

About Rashmi Sirdeshpande

Rashmi Sirdeshpande (Author) Rashmi Sirdeshpande is a lawyer-turned-stroyteller, who was part of the Penguin Random House WriteNow mentoring programme in 2018. As a British Indian child, she didn't get to see many children like her in the books she read, so she is now passionate about writing stories that children from all backgrounds can relate to. Ruchi Mhasane (Illustrator) Ruchi Mhasane has an MA in Children's Book Illustration from the Cambridge School of Art. Her ambition is to develop the form of the picture book; in India, children's books usually have few pictures, and her aim in joining the MA was to change this. Ruchi especially enjoys drawing people and children, and her work has a dreamy quality to it. She currently lives in India, where she grew up.
