Set in Sri Lanka, the events it narrates could equally happen elsewhere – in all places where human deaths are reduced to numbers and guns do not differentiate between adults and children. UK-based illustrator Matthew Frame’s textured illustrations are a powerful testimony to the horror of prolonged civil strife.Mike Masilamani’s ironic narrative centres around an unnamed boy, who is at home with numbers rather than words. Along with a constantly chattering – and prophetic cow – he bears witness to a bizarre and violent time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9789383145270.
