Naia's Notes on a Gentle Giant

Naia is no ordinary girl—she’s a snake-lover, notetaker, and protector of gentle giants! Her Didda is a herpetologist who studies reptiles, and together they care for Chaya, an Indian rock python with a curious heart and a BIG belly. From slithering across fields to surprising villagers, Chaya’s adventures bring both fun and fright to Naia’s small Goan village near the Western Ghats. With her trusty journal in hand, Naia records every observation, memory, and mystery about her scaly friend. Step into Naia’s world and discover the beauty, wonder, and wildness of snakes through the eyes of a young nature explorer!
