For journalist Jairaj Singh, “the most impactful stories come from vulnerable spaces.” His new children’s book, You Won’t Believe Me (Pratham Books) is a tender tale of searching for belongingness. It is about an unnamed boy who opens up about his struggles in school to ‘fit in’, and discovers one day that he isn’t the only one. The book carries a melodic narration, like a poem. When we catch up with (below) Singh over a call, he admits that that was his intention, “It had a lyrical cadence to it in my head [from the beginning].”
