Chanting Sanskrit shlokas is a timeless Indian tradition. It can have a profound impact on our mental and emotional well-being. How do we pass it on to our kids?
Step 1: Make it cute
Our books are full of hand-crafted, colourful illustrations as cute as their readers. The scenes are unique and full of surprises. The characters are fun and relatable Indian faces.
Each page is a little story, a little adventure, and a little lesson.
