Crooked House is a dynamic and playful story that touches on personal and professional relationships, goals and behavior patterns.

Papa and Mama need to renovate. They never seem to know when to plan, when to consult, and when to make a firm decision. Their miscalculations put the entire family on a disastrous path of corrective actions that lead them right back where they started. Will they succeed in breaking the cycle?

Here is a sample illustration from the Crooked House. The illustrations are by Tarun Mishra.

The story in Crooked House stands alone quite well by itself. However, the creativity, elegance and depth of this book cannot be fully appreciated without the book Crooked House 101.
