The Boy Who Walked North - Sometimes, the farthest journeys are the ones that lead us back to ourselves  (English, Hardcover, Kunal Tondare)

In a quiet village surrounded by mountains and rivers, life moves in calm and familiar circles. Seasons come and go, work begins and ends, and everyone seems content to follow the same gentle rhythm. But for young Arin, that rhythm feels like a cage. While others find comfort in the known, he feels the pull of something far away, the whisper of the river, the shimmer of a distant star, the promise of the unknown. One night, strange signs begin to appear: a glowing bird by the river, a falling star across the sky. They awaken something deep within Arin, a voice that urges him to leave behind the safety of his village and step into a world beyond the hills. To follow that call means walking into the wild, into silence and mystery, where every step will test his courage and his faith. To stay means turning away from the fire that burns within him. “The Boy Who Walked North” is a story about wonder, courage, and the search for meaning. It is a journey through forests, rivers, and dreams, where nature becomes both guide and mirror, teaching Arin that the path forward is also a path inward. Told in rich yet simple language, this coming-of-age tale blends myth, reflection, and beauty. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt the quiet pull of something greater, reminding us that every step into the unknown is also a step toward becoming who we truly are.
