Bollywood movies are made of dreams and adventures, and I long to discover them all...
It’s Friday night and, on the bustling streets of Mumbai, a little girl and her family head to the cinema. As they travel, the girl captures the sights and sounds of the city with her camera, and imagines a movie unfolding before her eyes. And when they reach the screening, the room is electric – it’s time to dance!

Inspired by the author's own childhood memories, Bollywood brings people together in this heartfelt and joyful debut from a brand-new talent.

MEDIA REVIEWS

Bold, bright and imaginative, Dwivedi’s picture-book debut conjures the excitement of a Friday family trip to a Mumbai cinema. - Imogen Russell Williams, The Guardian

This book sings with the energy of Bollywood, and the sights, sounds and smells of Mumbai. - Alice Ellerby, Juno

Author/illustrator Avani Dwivedi has based her debut picture book on her own experiences of growing up in Mumbai and she really captures the vibrancy of Mumbai streets […] She captures too the magic of those movies. - Red Reading Hub

Told through beautiful imagery and lyrical prose, this book soars in language, illustration, and cultural importance. [...] This is a well told and colorful rendering of the importance of art through film, and one young girl’s ­connection to her culture. - School Library Journal Starred Review

Readers are treated to a sensory extravaganza with the spicy scent of samosas, the sounds of popcorn kernels cracking and the hustle and bustle of city life, all perfectly conjured in this carnival of a book! Overflowing with colours and lively art, the shared experience and magic of the Bollywood Big Screen is vibrantly captured! - Inclusive Books for Children
