The Turtle Who Could Not Tuck Ayaan Ranjith

Ayaan is a nine-year-old boy who creates a very imaginative story themes and characters. This story is about a turtle who could not tuck his head inside his shell. So he remained stuck in his comfort zone, afraid to explore the world around him. What happened next, is his own self discovery tale. This particular story was written after his mother saw Ayaan and his little sister enacting it out. And, when asked what they were playing, they said they were enacting the story of The turtle who could not tuck his head. So, she listened to the story, acted out whatever they had asked her to and have put it down as a short story after thoroughly enjoying the role play. Ayaan usually tells similar stories to his little baby sister at bedtime, imparting his own wisdom. Now his mother is working towards putting them all out as stories for kids to read. In all his stories you will experience the same spirit of free imagination; where the characters deal with challenges, sense of loss, doubt, magic, mystery and amidst all this, how they make things possible. All narrated, in his own unique way.
