We received an overwhelming response to the Roald Dahl – James and the Giant Peach contest by The Hindu Young World Club in association with Puffin Books. The contest was for kids to draw their own unique insect inspired by the ones in ‘James and the Giant Peach’, as well as giving it a name and writing a few lines about it.

The creativity and ingenuity of young storytellers all over the country was impressive.
