Do! is a set of action pictures, rendered in the traditional Warli style of art. It introduces basic verbs to the young reader through a series of brilliantly drawn pictograms, which both illustrate the verb, and tell a story. Every page or pair of pages invites the child to explore a busy world and make up her own tale.Warli art is done by people belonging to a tribal community that lives in Maharashtra in western India. The art conjures a world teeming with human figures, animals, plants, and birds.
