Akeli Cheenti is a picture book exploring the journey of an ant, a bit different from what we have observed all ants doing.
This ant is a rebellious one and wants to explore the world and so begins her lone journey where she experiences life threatening and dangerous ordeals. The sweet taste of freedom and new experiences start with the giving up of the temptation of her favourite food! But who would ever fathom that a herd of beautiful deer can be life threatening?
The style of illustration is Warli-like. Use of just the two colours, brown and white, makes one feel that they are on this journey with the ant on the dusty ground. The dotted lines, which later turn into ants, take you through the book which also makes you flip the book upside down.
