In this photographic alphabet, the author introduces young readers to some of the customs, religion and culture - both ancient and modern - that make up this newly-formed, densely-populated country whose life-blood is the Bay of Bengal. Focusing on towns, countryside and waterways, this is a celebration of Bangladesh in all its aspects, from Crocodile to Jute, from Lungi to Rickshaw.
