Description

 

 

 

Ulu Ulu Ulu Pongal follows K and the events of Pongal day in her multicultural home. The story highlights and normalizes all the best parts of the festival: intergenerational family, colorful clothes, kōlam, Pongal pot, sugarcane, banana leaves, Pongal food, friends, large gatherings, and our favorite – kulavai (the sound of ululation)!
This is second of the 4 books series on the 4 days of Pongal festival – a harvest festival of Tamil people.

The book contains repetition, rhymes, and rhythms staying true to the art of both written and spoken Tamil. You will find your kids connect and engage with both the words and illustrations while giggling away and ultimately learning and loving their culture and language in the process.

“…I love that it caters To all levels, whether a person simply wants to have a fun story or they want to really go into depth in the language and learn…” – Teacher’s Pick

4-in-1 Books: Tamil | English Transliteration | English | Audiobook

The full story is repeated twice in these books – first half in Tamil (+English transliterations) followed by English. For bilingual families, this reinforces reading and listening primarily in Tamil and ensures that Tamil does not get usurped by the English language. The Tamil edition also includes English transliteration in small print to assist adults that cannot read or write Tamil. The second half tells the story of Pongal in English so kids can also develop English literacy but through a Tamil worldview and in their cultural lens. Additionally, it promotes the language and culture to non Tamil-speakers and non-Tamils.
