Little Bose is enchanted with his mother and her beautiful shiny nose jewel(mookuthi).

One day the nose jewel goes missing from his mother's face, leaving Little Bose heartbroken.

His mother finds the nose jewel again for Little Bose and somehow it looks bigger, better, and shinier this time.

The story takes a peek into the life of Little Bose and his family who live in a quiet town, in Southern India.

The book explores the mother-child bond and the simple yet powerful love a child holds for his mother.

The story is also a gentle metaphor on loss and grief, a reminder that children grieve over losses big or small.
