Great storytelling. I think i can see you becoming a professor one day Deeksha. I loved, simply loved the illustrations Praganya!! You have a great style and a good sense of colour!!The book would be incomplete without your inspired illustrations!!”

A reader Mr. Diwakar Reddy wrote  “This is a wonderful books, a beautiful way of using the time during lockdown and for a great cause. I really admire your work. At your age the detailing of the things in solar system is astonishing.  Everyone know the planets, but making them a 'family' instead of a 'system' creates the bond for each other. Every other planet is smiling except the planet Earth for reasons known :-) .

It is amazing to find such a book and can be used for kids to illustrate”.

Another reader Mr. Gurpreetwrote “Thanks for creating this wonderful book. Reading it is such a delight and refreshing experience that I keep reading it again and again. It feels like planets are actually talking to me and when I look at those beautiful illustrations, it seems our solar systems comes to life. Looks that not just Earth, but every planet has a life form which we are yet to explore”.

The book was released on the occasion of Earth Day 2020  (22 April 2020). It is available from https://store.pothi.com/book/ebook-deeksha-divya-padhmanabhan-personification-planets-and-sun
