“The Boy who wanted the Moon” is our little tribute to the scientist’s of ISRO who achieved the momentous success of Chandrayan-3.

The moon has charmed humans forever, we have always tried to reach for the moon, to see what lies in the glittering and shimmering land of craters. This pourquoi tale from Africa is a living proof of that.

While the world celebrated ISRO’s historical landing of Chandrayan - 3, this story is an additional metaphor for you to retell.
