Motivational
The author has beautifully penned down the tale of the protagonist, "Kubdu" who went through a transformation that is worth reading. He is being backed up by the stereotypes of the society yet he has some dreams of himself and he wishes to fulfill them in his life.It was written in an interesting manner with an amazing set of characters and scenarios involved in it. The narration is so smooth and easy to comprehend so that the readers can able to reach the spirit of the book. The book is being layered nicely and it is quite interesting to read. The characters involved have been given sufficient scope to contribute to the plot.This is a story of a young boy who was a big fan of Shahrukh Khan as like me. He was so crazy about him that he watched Don movie multiple times. His mother Reshma lovingly called him Kudbu. The story is based in Dharavi which is Asia's biggest slum. A place where most of the underprivileged people migrate to realise their dreams to make it big in the big metropolitan city of Mumbai. It is such a place which breeds ambition in our young Kudbu. Each part of the story is very touching.This book is so light but conveyed much powerful and meaningful advice on life and to the society around us. Through this book, a person's perspective can change because there is so much positivity and optimism in it.This book is so inspiring and I learnt many elements of life from this wonderful read. Highly recommended to get motivated.

Inspiring read!
We live in a time when physical appearances are everything that defines someone. Their nature and moral values are overlooked. Persons with disabilities are often looked with pity or scorn.This is such a story about a boy who has a hunched back. Always bullied and cursed by people with slangs and mockery wasn't enough for struggles in his life that his single parent his mother left him at the age of four. This is an inspiring story about Anmol who struggled all his life to own his business. The story teaches you empathy and kindness. Looks aren't everything.A really good read.

Inspiring
It is not destiny that shapes our fortune. It is our circumstances. The journey of life will teach you so many things, and it taught a handful of lessons to our main lead. The author entrapped the journeying hero who was held back by the cruel words of stereotypes in our society. But his dreams have already taken their flight and now he is ready to change them. The story is about transforming oneself and walking out of our old shells. The book also contains a strong message that will inspire us to build a better world for ourselves and all. The strength of our protagonist is groundbreaking. The plotline has been drafted such steadily, that you can relate to every incidence. With simple language representation, this book is a delightful read. The cover is bright and illustrative, brightening the whole appearance of this book.

Very moving story
Like the predecessor Baby‘s Breath this book tackles serious issues of living with a handicap in a gentle and kind way, surely intending to make the world a better place by teaching us to treat each other better and look beyond the surface of immediate appearances. I liked the book a lot, also because it comes from a different cultural background and perspective.
