Tenacity with Dadasaheb Phalke

Tenacity with Dadasaheb Phalke uses a biography of a figure the publisher identifies as the father of Indian cinema to introduce the idea of persistence. Part of the Learning TO BE series on South Asian pioneers and achievers, it pairs verse with illustrations and a graphic timeline. That combination gives the book two ways to approach its subject: through a value drawn from Phalke’s life and through a visual account of the life itself. The description does not identify particular events from his career, so the emphasis here is on the book’s biographical and educational framing.
