Love it more for the illustrations.
Read the book in one sitting. The stories are quite interesting. They are short, easy to read. Each of these stories has a life lesson we can learn from either as a reminder or a new one. Some parts do come out as sounding like preaching/self righteous attitude. But the story collection is still a good one for beginners and the casual readers.

This is such an enjoyable book, told in child-size chunks. I had no idea about the history of the Murty family of India that created the Infosys company. The author is a gifted teacher.

This book has experiences, and anecdotes, from the author’s own life. Makes for very interesting reading, especially for Indian expats, who may recall certain similarities in life growing up in India. I really liked it for myself, but fear my 7 yr old American may not fully comprehend it.
