I used to have the Hindi translation, titled 'bahadur cheenta' (बहादुर चींटा). I had got it when I was quite young. I liked the story, but even then, what I loved most was the Artwork.

These are the cutest illustrations. Oh my gosh. If you want to learn illustration this would be a great book to try to model. The colors and shapes are so vibrant. You cannot tear your eyes away from the illustrations.
The story is cute. It is a little more text heavy than a lot of kid's books.
I really love the story about hard work, loneliness and adversity. The family conquers challenges with a positive attitude and learns new skills to adapt to their new lives.
If I find this book in person, I would add it to my library. I found it online on archive.org.

This time I read the Malayalam translation and it felt philosophical at times.
"കുട്ടി ഉറുമ്പുകൾക്ക് വേണ്ടി രചിക്കപ്പെട്ട യക്ഷിക്കഥകളിൽ പോലും ഉറുമ്പുകൾ നിരാശരാവുന്ന ഒരു രംഗമില്ല."
