अनन्या और लैवेंडर साबुन की जादुई ख़ुशबू
आयु 3–5
बाज़ार के शोर से कान भर जाने के बाद, अनन्या को दो नन्हे औज़ार मिलते हैं: फिसलते लैवेंडर के बुलबुले और पैरों तले जमी मज़बूत जड़ें, जो डगमगाते एहसास को धोकर जमा देते हैं।

The market buzzed and clanged — carts squeaked, a bell went DING! अनन्या pressed both hands to her ears. मम्मी was right there, holding her basket, watching her face. Too loud, too loud today.
मम्मी knelt right down and took her hand. "Let's go home," she said. "We'll find your quiet place together." अनन्या squeezed her fingers tight and nodded.
Home again! The kitchen smelled like toast and sunshine. अनन्या's ears still buzzed, like a bee stuck in a jar. "मम्मी," she said, "my ears feel funny. Can we wash it away?"
