What Does Anu See?

Author: Lavanya Karthik

Illustrator: Lavanya Karthik

Anu loves to look at things,

big things and small.

Houses on hills,

ants on a wall.

Things in the kitchen,

things on the shelf.

Things in the garden,

things on herself.

Anu sees patterns

and shapes everywhere,

nothing at all can escape her stare!

Spots on a ladybird,

circles in trees,

shapes made by people,

shapes made by bees.

Lines on a leaf, just

like lines on her hand.

The marks of her feet

in wet seaside sand.

Waves in the water,

waves in her hair.

Mushrooms on tree

trunks, birds in the air.

Words in a book that

can take her to places,

full of new colours,

new stories, new faces.

Things of the colour that

she loves best - RED!

The three wiggly hairs on

her brother Boo's head.

Sprinkles on the cake

Daddy baked today,

like the stars that twinkle

at her from far away.

Rabbits in clouds

floating up in the sky.

Elephants in shadows -

come, give it a try!

Anu is happy with the

things that she sees.

Do you also see what

little Anu sees?
