Me: Look here, Chinnu! If you don’t do this...
Shru: (In a bored voice) I know, I know. No TV, no playdough, no surprise color,
nothing!
Me: (Baffled because she stole my line) Yeah, you know it already.
Shru: I can’t wait to be a grown up, Amma!

The fascinating workings of a child’s mind and a fond mother’s gift for words come
together in a most appealing manner in Shru-berry Tales. In these entertaining
snippets, Cauvery has not just recorded her little daughter’s innocent quips,
observations, worldly wisdom, unexpected and amusing reactions, concern
for others and the very occasional urge to do mischief, but has conveyed them
so endearingly that it is a treat to eavesdrop on these conversations. Enjoyed
reading this book!

Parenting is one responsibility that cannot be delegated. Responsible parenting
is all about spending time with a toddler, answering many questions without
tempering endless curiosity, sprinkling love selflessly without expecting anything
in return. Many realise it, but not all of them practice it. Those who do, will find
themselves in Cauvery’s conversations with Shruti. And those who don’t, will
learn and derive inspiration for sure.
Cauvery Kesavasamy
Cauvery grew up learning her greens from the trees and browns from the dusty towns of an urbanizing India. She studied Law, was a professional banker and later, writer at The Anonymous Writer, where she touched a million lives. Writing has always been her first love, and she presents the world in a simple, rhythmic meter, viewing it through the lens of childlike curiosity and an innocent imagination of what could be. Cauvery strikes again with wit and charm in her latest book, Shru-berry Tales- Conversations with a Toddler, where she describes the conversations she has with her daughter as she grows up in a different country, but with the same uninhibited inquisitiveness about the world around her. These conversations exhibit a keen ear of an observant mother and curiosity of a toddler- giving us moments of awe and wonder.
