The storybook is made on the story of 'Tejimola' (a famous folktale of assam).
The art form used for the illustrations is inspired from Madhubani paintings.
In olden times there lived a merchant in Assam. He had two wives. The elder one had a daughter named Tejimola. The younger one had no child.
Tejimola’s mother died when she was a small child. Her stepmother brought her up. She did not love Tejimola, but as she was the only child in the family, her father was very fond of her. The stepmother looked after Tejimola only to please her husband.
The story showcases the relation between Tejimola and her stepmother, and how evil never prevails.
