Neem Teri Neemboli Peeli is a small poem written in the Hindi language,
that revolves around the tree - Neem.
The book explores a very commonly found, giant, and sometimes young little tree found in the Indian landscape. A sweet shelter from the restless sun rays to many tired heads in the middle of the day and for birds who feed on the fruits. Yet, beneath its verdant canopy lies a treasure trove of medicinal virtues.
Watercolor on paper. Spot illustrations and text are designed digitally.
