Adventures of Inni

Penguin Random House India is to publish a series of three picture books from actor duo, partners and parents Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu, tentatively titled Inni and Bobo, with the first book to be released in 2022.

Soha debuted as an author in 2017 with The Perils of Being Moderately Famous, a best-selling memoir published as a collection of essays by Penguin. This is the first time she is writing for young readers. This book also marks Kunal’s debut as an author. The three picture books will take readers through the adventures of a little girl called Inni who loves all animals, but especially cute little puppies. One day this little girl visits an animal adoption centre and wants to take all the puppies home — after all, they’re so cute and adorable! But then she chances upon the floppy-eared Bobo. And her heart is set. She has found her new best friend!

Told with a lot of heart, the Inni and Bobo series is not only about a little child finding friendship and the beauty of adopting dogs, but also about empathy and imperative life lessons.

Talking about the inspiration behind the book, Soha and Kunal said, “One of (daughter) Inaaya’s favourite things to do is story time, either she’ll bring a book to one of us and ask us to read it to her whilst she looks at the pictures, or then as she says ‘from your mouth’ where she chooses the characters and the setting and we make up the story for her.—IANS
