Description
Today is My Day is a children's book by Anushka Ravishankar which tells the story of a young girl named Tala who constantly faces instructions from those around her, including her father, sister, and teachers. Tired of always being told what to do, Tala decides to take matters into her own hands and plots sweet revenge, just for today.
