Lisa Ray Instagram – I think I’m in love with the #Elfie series even more than #Souffle. #Elfie dressed in rainbow colours is the mascot @thelalitgroup and these books were conceptualised by @keshavsurifoundation to illustrate how love and acceptance is a way of life. In Elphie and the Peacock, the sweet little Elephant is taunted for his bright colours which makes him stick out in a herd of grey. He meets a flock of peacocks who show him he need not cover himself in dull colours to fit in. In Elfie and the dance party, he meets a dj tune spinning solitary bear in a wheelchair who longs to play a party up in the rocks but can’t figure out how to get up there. With Elfie’s help the bear soon has the entire animal kingdom dancing to trance. You get the drift. More than their irresistible charm, these books matter because representation is still lacking in India. The message to the world is #Purelove and inclusiveness. Imagine a new generation reading about Elfie and opening their arms without discrimination to all genders, preferences, religions and physical abilities. Thank you @keshavsurifoundation #pridemonth
