A Handful of Home is a museum you can hold in your hands.Containing 100 objects from the Partition of India, oral historian and expert Aanchal Malhotra transforms a complex history into a gentle and accessible introduction for younger readers.Through the quiet stories of everyday treasures, the vastness of Partition history becomes tangible; something a child can see, touch and understand. From a grandmother's gold bangle passed down through generations, to a red cap exchanged between two friends, and even a fifteen and a half foot crocodile head, readers will discover the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of memory.Vividly brought to life by Bangladeshi-British illustrator Maryam Huq, this book is a testament to the things we keep, the things we remember, and the stories that connect us all — no matter where we call home. - Häftad, Engelska, 2027
