Weekend read !! If you’re looking for a blend of sibling rivalry, summer mystery, and a touch of the fantastical, “Leaf People” is a must-read. Part of the Silly Billy series, this story perfectly captures the chaotic yet adventurous energy of childhood. The adventure begins when siblings Nikoo and Zubin head to their grandmother’s house in the hills for summer vacation. Away from the rush of the city, their days are filled with walks, gardens, goats, and endless curiosity—perfect conditions for imagination to run wild. While the hills usually promise peace, things take a turn when the pair spots a fantastical leaf creature. What starts as a quest to uncover the truth behind this mysterious being quickly turns into a series of mishaps. Between constant bickering over a goat and the sudden, mysterious disappearance of Zubin, Nikoo is left to figure out whether the leaf creature is responsible—or if there’s something even more unusual going on. Why we both loved it It’s a relatable tale for any parent who has watched siblings fight over the smallest things while simultaneously embarking on grand adventures—imaginary or otherwise. The illustrations by Lungshai Leisan beautifully bring the lush, hilly setting to life, making it a great pick for readers aged 7 and up. Highly recommended!
