Do!

Ramesh Hengadi, Shantaram Dhadpe, Gita Wolf

The traditional Warli style of tribal art from western India is deceptively simple, yet very dynamic, almost like a series of fluid pictograms. People in Warli images are constantly on the move, always doing something. Taking a cue from this, each image in this book is a narrative built around a verb. Do! can be used in many ways – as a picture book, to learn language, to discover new stories on each page, to talk about village life, or to learn how to draw in the Warli style.
