The Shortcut

Ammu is heading to Maths tuition, but there are far greater problems to solve on her way there. The Shortcut speaks of the dark realities of sexual harassment faced by children in India.

Influenced by picture books, children's book editor Yamini Vijayan and illustrator Anjali Kamat collaborated to tell a story centred on safety in public spaces. Using minimal text, repetition and memorable imagery - characteristic of children's picture books - The Shortcut speaks of the dark realities of sexual harassment faced by children in India. The story is inspired by certain real incidents. 

Written by Yamini Vijayan, illustrated by Anjali Kamat.
