A STORYBOOK ABOUT A HUNT FOR THE POGEYAN, A MYTHICAL CAT
Written by Ambika Rao | Published by Pratham Books 2014
A simple storybook turned into an intimate medium for sharing National Geographic Explorer Sandesh Kadur’s story. We shaped his hunt for a mythical cat, the ‘Pogeyan’ in the Western Ghats of India, into a playful, rhyming, story which documents every flora and fauna he chanced upon. I illustrated whimsical characters peppered with splotchy patches of ink, a subtle gesture pointing towards the heavy rainfalls in India's western coast. Although he never really meets this cat, the book makes his hunt come alive.
