Raja's Pet Camel The Magic of Hope written by author Anita Nahta Amin and illustrated by Parwinder Singh is a wonderful story about a young boys journey finding his forever pet, Kamal. It's also a story that is educational and helps children learn more about Indian culture.
The story begins with Raja walking home from school and finding "a lone baby camel crying". What does he do? Raja moves cautiously towards the baby camel, who is at first scared until she spots Raja's shiny lunchbox. The pair immediately hit it off by playing tag and hide and seek. Raja decides to bring his pet camel home and hopes that his father will accept Kamal as their new pet. His father, Bapu is skeptical but decides to let his son keep Kamal until someone claims her. Raja is overjoyed and has hope that Kamal can stay.
However, as time goes on, Kamal becomes quite a handful! He becomes a trouble maker around the house and Raja's father decides to sell him at the local fair. What will Raja do to keep Kamal? Read the book to find out!
