What we keep, what we soften
The episode, the names and the order of events stay as the text has them. Weapons, war and fear are told as courage, not conflict, for the youngest bands; nothing is invented.

What families say
“He asked for the Ganesha one three nights running. The Hindi page is the first thing my mother read to him on a video call.”
“She chose the second ending and then wanted to see the first one too. Both are printed in the book. That is the part I did not expect.”
“Beside the hero, not as the god. I did not know how much I needed someone to say that until I read it.”
“The buttons are big enough for my finger. That is all I ask of a phone.”
