Book: Gadagada Gudugudu
Publisher: Tulika
Ages: 3 and up
Gadagada Gudugudu is a fun story about a marble that goes from one child to another in exchange for something exciting. With each new friend, we get to see games that kids in Tamil Nadu have loved for years, like gilli thandu, pambaram (spinning top), and pattam (kite flying).
The words flow like the rolling marble, making it feel like we’re playing along, too! This book brings back all the joy of street games children have enjoyed for generations.
Have you played or heard of any of these street games?
