Sonams Ladakh

“Sonam’s Ladakh” by Manish Lakhani is a richly photographed children’s picture book that introduces young readers to the frozen deserts and high mountains of Ladakh through the eyes of a local girl named Sonam. Sonam belongs to the semi‑nomadic Changpa tribe, cares for her family’s pashmina goats, and shares her everyday life in a tent, giving children an intimate look at an indigenous community rarely seen in mainstream books.
