Young Waves Ratnottama Bhattacharyya

This book is the first poetry book by the nine-year-old poet Ratnottama Bhattacharyya. This book contains 15 of her poems and 11 of her illustrations. Ratnottama's art teacher, Ms. Lydia Lee, created the cover illustration based on the book's first poem, "The Wave I See Today." She was only seven years old when she wrote this poem. Ratnottama's first poem, "Spring is Here," was for her first-grade teacher Mrs. Meilak, which she wrote at six. Since then, she wrote several poems for school competitions and local magazines. Some of her creations are about her love and interest in nature and different seasons. Some of them are about herself and her self-realization.
