Description: Young Chunni's favorite word was "why"—why is the sky blue, why can't she have short hair like her brothers? When a coach arrives to teach her brothers horseback riding but excludes her for being a girl, Chunni faces her biggest question yet: why not? This unique biography celebrates Ismat Chughtai's childhood rebellion and her journey to becoming one of India's greatest Urdu writers.
