Art is a voice - a reminder that freedom is not only political but also personal
Isha Anand 
The Book: Art is a Voice
On this Independence Day, our celebration didn’t begin with a flag in hand, but with a book in hand. We, at Children’s Book for All, read Art is a Voice by Kripa, slowly, page by page, picture by picture; allowing each illustration to speak before we spoke back with our own colours and lines.
No words, just the language of brushes, pencils, and imagination.
It was a quiet but powerful reminder that freedom is not only political, it is also personal — the freedom to see, to feel, and to create without censorship of the mind.
Kripa’s book offers a rare space in today’s India: a space where artists are not just makers of beauty, but keepers of truth. Through her lens, art becomes a mirror and a megaphone — reflecting our times, and amplifying voices that must not be silenced.
Remembering our voices on Independence Day
Today, while the tricolour waved outside, our pages filled with colours of our own, a proof that independence is also about the courage to tell your story, in whatever medium speaks to you most.
