ABOUT THE BOOK
The story of Chaitanya Harikrishnan, a fourteen-year-old known as Chithu from Kerala, has touched hearts in the Hellenic Republic. During her moments of solitude, the YouTube channel ‘Up above the Sky’ became her solace. While following the channel’s creator, Elani Kallas from Greece, Chaitanya found herself embraced by a new family.
It’s a remarkable narrative of two girls: one – a dreamer overcoming life’s hurdles and the other – a visionary turning dreams into reality with her resolve and tenacity. This is the story of how an extraordinary bond forms between two individuals who have never met, spoken, or shared commonalities, yet find a deep, soulful connection.
When stars align, everything else falls into place.
