In India, Sishu means a small child, but it completely changes in the Finnish culture. "Sisu" is a Finnish term that embodies a unique blend of determination, resilience, and grit, especially in the face of adversity. It's a concept deeply rooted in Finnish culture, often described as an inner strength that allows one to persevere when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. Sisu is not simply about enduring hardship, but also about maintaining composure and acting with purpose even when feeling exhausted or overwhelmed.

This book made a very nice reading. It left many messages that can be put in anyone's day-to-day life.

However, the reader's phonations need to be seriously worked upon. Many words, especially towards the end of the sentence, were lost or difficult to comprehend. This could probably be due to her non-English speaking origin. If she works on this aspect of hers, she can surely make a good reader.
