Stories in everyday moments

A journal’s blank pages prompt Avni to wonder what counts as a story. On the walk to her aunt’s house with her younger sister, Isha, she begins noticing possibilities in butterfly wings, homemade meals, and shared laughter. The journey connects observation and reflection with the idea that storytelling can emerge from ordinary family experiences. Meenal Patel’s picture book centers on two sisters discovering what is worth recording in their own lives.
