About The Book

Piktru and the Spirits of Twilight is a beautiful and lyrical story that celebrates the innocence of childhood and the warmth of family. Piktru, a lively young girl, lives in the picturesque village of Khunou in Manipur with her parents and grandmother. Every day, Piktru plays with her friends, but as twilight approaches, her mother calls her home. Curious about why she must stop playing at dusk, Piktru seeks an answer from her grandmother, who shares with her the tale of Meirithe child who played with spirits.

This heartwarming story gently introduces children to the idea of boundaries and respect, while also embracing the wonder and magic that comes with childhood. Through its tender narrative, Piktru learns to appreciate the love and protection of her family, and the importance of understanding the world beyond play.
