My name is Sarah Raj. Sometime ago I have decided to give it a try to write children stories. I wanted to create them so that parents could spend quality time with their kids.
I would like children to see the characters as their friends and learn from them. This inspires me to write Red Maple Star Stories.
How many magic stories do you know?
But they evaporate, when children grow.
Against all that we have a special guard
Because we still believe in magic art!

Gagandeep and Chuchundar by Sarah Raj tells the story of a small village boy, Gagandeep – affectionately called Gagan – and a large beast, Chuchundar, that lives in the forest and makes his nest at the top of the world’s tallest mountain; Malai. Chuchundar lives a very happy and carefree life and enjoys playing with fish in the pond before growing hungry and having his fill of grass, berries and herbs, and then napping the afternoon away; at nightfall he would then retire to his nest. Life for Chuchundar is routine and lonely; he has a burning desire to have friends one day. One day a villager accidentally stumbled upon Chuchundar and fled at the sight of the large beast. Chuchundar decided to go into the village to return the bags the villager had dropped during his hasty retreat. Fearing for their lives, the villagers capture Chuchundar; Chuchundar’s fate now lies in the hands of Gagandeep.
I found the story of Gagandeep and Chuchundar to be adventurous, inspirational and entertaining. Sarah Raj is just as playful with words as Chuchundar is with the fish in the pond. The story of Gagandeep and Chuchundar reminds us that things are not always what they seem. It also shows the fact that sometimes adults may be wrong and it takes a child to correct them. It also places emphasis on not making harsh decisions without first ascertaining all the facts. Sarah Raj has successfully combined fun, wisdom, values and morals into one literary adventure, fittingly entitled Gagandeep and Chuchundar.
