Besides the text, the book uses stunning illustrations to bring the story behind this prayer to life and teaches children moral values, compassion and valour.

"I wanted to create a depiction of Ram that captures the beauty of how Tulsidas describes him, but that is also relatable and meaningful to children today. You'll see a Ram who is dynamic and vibrant, yet also infused with a divine calm that's unmistakable," said Vasudev.
