Keep Gliding  (Paperback, Sreedev Devadas)

Sreedev, a UK based strategy executor by profession, a storyteller by interest and his girls’ superhero by preference, was looking for an exceptional illustrator to add life to his short narratives. He reached out to Shilpa, an Indian filmmaker, passionate art lover, believer in social justice and above all, an old school friend. She did not need much convincing due to their shared love for storytelling and the opportunity to revive an old friendship. And thus, Keep Gliding took shape. Keep Gliding is a compilation of ten short narratives, that will leave readers feeling nostalgic while also giving them some food for thought. The creators use school life and family relationships as the common thread to bind the narratives and present universally relatable, unique and interesting views of life as a larger frame. They beautifully weave in challenges like climate change, mental health, female individuality and bullying, to develop the backdrop for their characters to glide through. While doing so, they take special care to maintain universality and light heartedness through usage of simple language and exceptional hand illustrations.
