My Sweet Home
My Sweet Home invites readers into the colorful, bustling streets of Okhla, a neighborhood in South Delhi, through the voices and drawings of 20 children who call this place home. This heartfelt collection blends short personal stories with art, offering an intimate, compassionate view of a community often left out of city narratives. Created in a workshop led by documentary filmmaker Samina Mishra and design expert Sherna Dastur, the book speaks to curious readers of all ages who want warmth, wonder, and a deeper understanding of urban life.
My Sweet Home is built as a mosaic of voices—each child shares a small, candid moment about home, terraces, mosques, family histories, and daily life, complemented by their own drawings. The experience feels like listening to neighbors who invite you to sit a while, observe, and reflect. The writing is clear and inviting, the illustrations lively and intimate, and the pace invites gentle, contemplative reading. This non-fiction collection makes learning about history, heritage, and contemporary city life accessible and engaging by blending storytelling with art and real-life perspectives. In My Sweet Home, the voices are front and center, making the everyday extraordinary.
- Twenty stories and accompanying drawings by Okhla’s youngest residents
- A workshop-driven, collaborative project from Samina Mishra and Sherna Dastur
- Themes of home, community, heritage, and resilience
- Hand-drawn illustrations that bring each voice to life
- Child-friendly writing that invites discussion, empathy, and curiosity
- Perfect for family reading, classroom discussions, and library storytelling
After you turn the last page, you’ll carry a warmer, more nuanced view of Okhla and its people. My Sweet Home invites empathy, curiosity, and connection, leaving readers inspired by childhood creativity and the power of community to shape how we see our world.
