How I wrote the story?
This should be fun
This should have the story of chocolate
Book should be interesting
and mummy and papa wants to make it 'integrated".
So it started with research on "origin" of chocolate. I first researched the history of Chocolate - I go the basic idea and then I made my own imaginary story. We went to see a chocolate factory in Bangalore I came to know how the chocolate is made - this helped me in making receipe of chocolate in my story.
Once the story was finalized, with the help of papa we broke the story in few frames. So it was easy for me to draw pictures.
I saw in a book how Spain dress up, and then taking the idea I drew my own character who lives in Spain. First I saw few pictures of trees of spain and drew a jungle and with my own imagination I creatd pictures for every frame. I was making the similar frame but whne Mummy sugeted I made SEED as focus of one of the drawing. Whne i was drawing the table in one of the frame - papa showed a table and explian the way I drew is not actually the way we see. So I saw the table from up and saw how it looks and drew. When I was drwaing a boy drininking milk - I took a glass and went to the mirro and then I saw how drininkg glass look and then I drew.
It was different experience to draw differenlty.
Story
In the deep forest of Spain a young boy Richard, was walking with his father, Mr loop.
Suddenly Richard spotted a oval shaped brown nut. When he looked up he saw a tree full of these nuts. He excitedly showed Mr loop the tree.
They picked a bag full of nuts and went back to their home were his mother, Mrs Loop was waiting.
Richard loved flavored milk, so Mrs loop opened the nuts and crushed the seeds inside the nut to make powder.
She put the powder in a glass of milk. Richard loved the flavor. He called it cocco powder.
Richard by mistake put butter instead of sugar and mixed the milk well.
He wanted cool the milk so he kept the milk in the fridge. When he took the glass out the drink was frozen.
"When Richard tasted the brown lump he liked it more than the milk".
Richard thought for 3 hours and finally named it choc-o-late. As it was made out of cocco powder. Now chocolate is a famous and favorite flavour of everybody

Book frames
So finally the book frames are done. And while we were putting in the Corel draw - we realize that we cannot accommodate activities which we thought to put in the book.
We could only put Dhrupad's Nimbu pani receipe and one maze by Asawari. Asawari had thought of jokes related to chocolate, and some other games.
It was an interesting experience - Asawari started with apprehension on how to draw -but soon she picked up and did one by one drawings.-Aditi
