Description

"So isn't it fun to think of a crab, who has a mustache, a fish who probably has a horn, a unicorn which doesn't have a horn, and an elephant which is red? What fun would that world be!" Akku is a lively, imaginative and adventurous two-and-half-year-old little girl. Growing up partly in Gurgaon and mostly in Singapore, she is the darling of her big joint family. From playing with her fishy friends and beloved puppy to discovering the wonders of swimming pools, sea beaches and malls, every new experience fills Akku with joy and curious questions. She loves to scribble, draw and colour and her imagination runs riot with elephants that are red, crabs that have mustaches and unicorns that don't have horns.
