Edison is a Bollywood-style epic tale brimming with song and dance, action and comedy, love and pathos, action and comedy, and cameos by real Indian starts of yesterday and today—a hilariously entertaining masala film in the guise of literary fiction. Along the way, we glean bits of Bollywood history and fall in love with an improbable cast of characters who inhabit Edison’s Little India. Edison is a wild, romantic, laugh-out-loud love letter to life, community, friendship, and the Indian American community of Edison, New Jersey, where debut author Pallavi Dixit grew up.

Ezra is a seven-year-old boy who likes cheese-flavored ice cream, flying off the couch with his superhero cape, and peeling dried glue off his fingers. And he LOVES making art. Every day at Braddock Elementary, he doodles, draws, paints, and crafts with abandon. When he makes something, the entire world melts away, his heart feels warm, and his entire body wants to wiggle. But there is one problem. Even though he loves making it, no one understands it.
In this heartwarming picture book, little Ezra questions whether he should continue to create when his parents, teachers, and classmates don't seem to get, or even like, his creations. What in the World Is Ezra's Art? explores the question: Can Ezra feel good about his art when no one else does?
