” I had a happy childhood : extremely outdoorsy and independent.”
Dasha Zhukhova
I actually first need to apologize my readers and followers for keeping you waiting and hungry for the next post. It was just that I was too busy caught up with my work. Though the work is still on , but I can manage to squeeze in some time for my readers and followers. As after all they keep me going and make me feel motivated to write.
So for a long time I did not have a single book to write upon but thanks to an assignment of mine I got this golden opportunity to catch upon my reading. The book Totto Chan to be frank was read by me earlier as well. But to be frank I did not remember anything about the book. The only memory that was in my mind about the book was that I had read an extract of the book when in 6th or 7th standard. Well enough of my rambling now I get straight to the point .
Totto Chan is a book that explores the childhood experiences of the author. The author was expelled from her previous school because she was considered too naughty by nature. However her life at Tomoe changed drastically as she found it to be the school that was much to her liking. She flourished as a student there. She was the principal’s favourite.
The book describes her experiences at Tomoe and how that school helped her shape her personality. She reminisces about all the experiences at the school. Some are fun , some are thoughtful and some just make you fall in love with the children.
I personally enjoyed reading the book as it made me nostalgic about my school days. I am sure after you guys read it you will feel the same. So what are you waiting for ? Go grab a copy and enjoy revisiting your childhood days as well.
” If you had an essentially happy childhood that tends to dwell with you.”
