Synopsis
Shortlisted for Singapore Book Awards 2018 (Best Children's Picture Book). In a South Indian village, a girl named Savitri has a greedy brother who summons a mighty demon to work for him. The demon, Rakshasa, tells him he must be kept busy or he will eat the brother. Eventually, the brother runs out of tasks for Rakshasa, and Savitri must think of an impossible task to keep Rakshasa busy–she challenges the demon to straighten her curly hair. © 2017 by Catherine Khoo. Published in paper format in Singapore by Epigram Books, recorded by Storyside 2020.
