I love warli painting .......It was great pleasure to view a book on the old art form of my home country........

The Warli People by Hye-Eun Shin, Su-Bi Jeong (Illustrations). Edited by Joy Cowley. Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company. EBYR. Children's Nonfiction. This nonfiction book offers a glimpse into the lives of the Warli tribe who lived in the 10th century BC in what is now the state of Maharashtra in India. We have learned much of what we know of this prosperous farming civilization through the sacred feminine ritual of art as they drew pictures on the walls of their mud-brick houses. A great illustrated history for school age children. Highly recommend! Thanks to NetGalley and the Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company for providing this ebook for review.

I know it's meant for younger readers and overload of information is not really what one would want to experience. But having said that, I strongly believe that there could have been more in terms of the content. Illustrations were brilliant.

Interesting, educational read from the Trade Winds imprint of Eerdmans. The ethnic folk art illustrations are appealing, adding to the ambience of the text.

An excellent and concise story that children would love and a teacher's dream.

A rare children’s non-fiction book, about a society that existed in what is now India in 10th century BCE.
In addition to farming and hunting and fishing, they also harvested salt from the sea; hadn’t heard of a civilization doing that so early. The women were artists, drawing on the mud walls. . . or would that be carving? The background of the mostly stick-figure art is orange, which does look enough like mud, as well as brown and other earth colors.
This is like Anthro 101 for pre-schoolers, with more older-level info at the end.
Interesting point: no myths or gods in the artwork, only regular people doing their daily tasks.

Minimalistic and bland but nevertheless, a good educational history read for children. The illustrations although appealing to me or an adult, might not be something the kids would enjoy as my brother refused to read it because it's "boring". However, I enjoyed gaining some facts about an ancient Indian civilization and how they lived.

This informative book delves into this historical civilisation in a way that is easy to understand and engage with, illuminating interesting details about how the Warli people inhabited India.
