Meera and Ameera Author: Nimmy Chacko Illustrator: Lavanya Naidu

Meera and I are a team. She’s my most favourite person in the world. Do you know why? She’s the only one who can see me! 2/12

Everything she likes, I like. Everything I like, she likes. Our names also sound the same. Meera and Ameera! 3/12

Things that happen to her happen to me too. “I lost another tooth,” Meera says. While I lost another quill. 4/12

Sometimes, we can be a little different. Meera makes up problems. I make them go away. 5/12

Like the other day when it was raining— “Oh no, now we can’t go out to play,” Meera cried. 6/12

But I had an idea! Off we sailed on a paper boat. 7/12

Or the time when she started school. “What if I don’t make any friends?” Meera was worried. “You made friends with me. Now go make one more friend,” I told her. 8/12

It’s my turn to tell the story now. Ameera is my most favourite person in the world. Do you know why? She turns stuff upside down, just so I have a different view. 9/12

Ameera never lets me walk into a fight alone. Even though she doesn’t help much. 10/12

She makes every day a BIG adventure. Like the time we had to get out of a murukku maze. “I know! Let’s eat our way out,” Ameera said. 11/12

Like Ameera said, we’re a team. 12/12
