Asha the Auto Driver

Meet Asha, a cheerful and enterprising auto-rickshaw driver in Chennai. Each morning, she visits the flower market to purchase fragrant jasmine buds, which she strings into garlands to adorn her colorful auto. As she navigates the bustling city streets, Asha picks up passengers heading to various destinations—from the railway station to the beach—sharing smiles and the sweet scent of jasmine along the way. This delightful picture book offers young readers a glimpse into the vibrant life of Chennai, celebrating the spirit of a woman breaking stereotypes in a traditionally male-dominated profession.
