Family and children need a family goal, family esteem, family security and strategy. This book provides the magic and directs one towards ability, achievement, attitude, creativity, learning from failures, growing in success and joy as a process of fun. Life is a field for being sensitive and sensible and this book provides material for growth. Whether you plant a poisonous herb or a mango seed, the field does not discriminate but helps it to grow. Mind is like a field. It does not ask what you plant in it. It only helps to grow. Good leadership with vision, power, speed, skill and strategy is brought out beautifully in this book. Swami Sukhabodhananda in his unique style brings this out as a great gift for both children and adults.

To grow up is to add life to years and to grow old is to add years to life. Parenting is the art of adding life to years. An art cannot be taught but it has to be caught. Stories are a wonderful device where the content has to be caught. This book helps one to catch the content through stories.

There are three styles of literature one is like a coconut, and one has to break it to understand the content, therefore requires more effort. The second type is like a banana, and a little effort needed to peel it off. Then one can eat easily. The third type is like grape that requires the most minimum effort and one can eat it. This book is like grapes but the content is extremely valuable.

To apply these contents in one's life is a part of wise living. This book helps one to learn with fun and maturity. It is not only a book for children but for parents and mentors too. Life needs a wise strategy, family needs a wise strategy or else life becomes like a ship without a compass. One has to learn to observe and then learning happens only in observation.

In the episode of Mahabharata, there is a story narrated by Kanika one of the ministers of King Dhritarastra.

A jackal, a tiger, a wolf, a mongoose and a mouse lived as friends in a forest. One evening, they sighted a mighty deer, youthful, and endowed with speed and strength. The tiger being the strongest among them failed in its effort to hunt down the deer. So they brain stormed together as a team and created a strategy. During night, when the deer rests, the rat would go near the deer and bite it hard. When injured, the tiger would attack. Their strategy worked and the deer was caught and killed. Before they began to feast on the bounty, all of them were to take bath. The tiger was the first to come back and noticed that the jackal was sitting sad beside the dead deer. On enquiry, the jackal replied, 'It is because of the mouse. The mouse uttered proudly that it was instrumental in killing the deer and the tiger is taking all the glory. Angry at this turn of events, the tiger broke away from the team. Next was the turn of the wolf. The jackal said, 'The tiger is waiting to kill you if you eat the deer as you did not do anything to deserve the meat. The wolf out of fear went away from the team. Further, the jackal narrated lies to other members and all of them parted from the team. Finally, the jackal got the whole deer to feast. No doubt from a short sighted view it gained the entire bounty but from a deeper perspective, it can't hunt down another deer on its own. Thus the strength of the team was lost.
