Kayan is on tour of many major cities in the world. Today we go with him to Mumbai, once called Bombay, to tour the city and its wonderful foods!
The simple illustrations by Margherita Passarini are brilliantly colored, and fun.
Well suited for reading alone or WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school, or your public library!

Cute, colorful, and fun!
In Kayan Goes to Mumbai, a young child prepares to travel across the world and visit family in the city of Mumbai, the most populous city in India. After a long plane ride, he lands in this amazing city and, once there, experiences all its exciting sights and sounds.
Kayan Goes to Mumbai is the latest children’s travel picture book in author Rohit S. Loomba’s Kayan Goes series for young ones. The illustrations are eye-catching and inspiring, and their beautiful colors make the scenes come alive. The main character is Kayan, and he’s so authentic and enthusiastic about his new destination and what he finds there, even when he’s about to step in something he really wants to avoid! (The family goes to a nature park where visitors and animals are free to roam throughout the grounds.) The story takes him to iconic locations as well as to everyday places where he can visit with family. (He goes to visit his Nana and Nani's flat.)
The story covers many aspects of what such a journey would entail and the activities that are out of the usual daily routine of a young child that might startle and stress them, including deciding what to take on the journey and packing for the trip, flying across the world, and seeing their destination for the first time from high above before landing, and then the various modes of transportation they will be using once there which might be very different from how the family gets around at home.
This book is a great way to excite and prepare children who are about to make a trip to this large (and what could be overwhelming) city. It would also be suitable as a fun story to share in pre-school when discovering different countries.

What a beautiful book!! I was so taken back by how wonderful this book was. My four kids and I cherished our time reading it. Wonderfully done.

Thank you, Arashi Publishing, for the advance reading copy.

Such colourful and rich content! When it comes to introducing Mumbai to a kid, I would say the book represents accurately what defines the city! For someone who has been staying there for a few years, this book exactly sums up the experience I have had.

The cover is a bit dull in comparison to the illustrations and the overall visuals of the picture book.

You will absolutely love the contents!
