School opens after the winter vacation. Vain Vanya is to become a better person as she learns to be humble while performing in the Annual Play. Lazy Luke becomes a disciplined boy when he gets the shock of his life! Snowie can’t stop laughing when she hears how he learnt his lesson. Holi brings fun, food, laughter and colours.

Elvira Fernandez
Elvira Fernandez is an avid reader of all kinds of literature, but children’s literature, fantasy and romance top her list. She is an Indian author who loves to write for children. She writes short stories, plays, poems, content for some academic books and e-zines, apart from doing some editing assignments. She has won several awards – including the first prize for her English essay in a competition organized by AINACS in 2019 and the Editor’s Choice Certificate for her story in the AILC 2020 organized by the Creative Post.
Working as an English Lecturer, Elvira shares a close connection with children and enjoys her students’ quirks. Her love for children and her pets (a dog and a cat) find expression in her stories. “A teacher always remains a child at heart,” she says. “Surrounded by so much of liveliness, a teacher is constantly in a state of effervescence.”
This trilogy has its genesis in her joyous childhood, the time that she lives and re-lives through her vibrant students. By intermingling realism and fantasy in this book, she aims to enchant children to read and imbibe a better way of living.
