A unique biography that explores and celebrates the life of one of India’s greatest calligraphers.
‘Every artist starts with shaky lines. With practice, these lines can turn into a masterpiece.’
Right from childhood, Prem loved to watch his dadaji’s pen glide across the page like a dancer on stage. It was as if his pen were a magic wand, breathing life into letters and making them bloom like fresh flowers.
Prem dreamed of mastering this magic and becoming a calligrapher, just like Dadaji. But when he tried, his
letters turned out wobbly, squiggly, and looked more like caterpillars.
Can Prem learn the language of letters and transform his uncertain lines into a masterpiece?

The Whispering Mountains: Marvellous Folktales from the Himalayas is a collection of folktales handed down through generations—tales shared by grandparents sitting by the fire on cold nights, tales carried by the whispering winds, and echoing through the rivers and peaks of the Himalayas.
In these tales, trees and flowers, animals and birds coexist with humans, one story ending as another one begins. The wicked and the good are not as they seem, and magic is always close at hand. Clever women outwit thieves, while fools reveal unexpected wisdom. The stories hold the teachings of nature and the playful mischief of tricksters, the marvel of creation myths, and the shimmering magic of shapeshifters. Across these regions lie the enduring secrets and strengths of the mountains, with doors that lead to hidden realms and windows which open to wonder.
Roop carries her newest toy—a kaleidoscope—everywhere. The world from her kaleidoscope looks split up . . . and so does her world. Around her, unfamiliar words echo: India. Pakistan. Partition. Home.
Words that sound distant from her reality, until one night changes everything. Roop finds herself at a riverbank, one that she must cross to find her home—her new home.
Award-winning author Samina Mishra tells a poignant tale of a dark chapter in history. Through Roop’s journey, she weaves a story of connections, resilience and finding an anchor in turbulent times.

Buddhist Stories for Kids: Jataka Tales of Kindness, Friendship, and Forgiveness
Long ago, the Buddha told his followers Jataka Tales, or “birth stories,” about the many lifetimes he lived before he was born as Prince Siddhartha. In this beautiful retelling of ten such stories, the Buddha is introduced as the Queen of the Dogs, a loyal Parrot, a mischievous Monkey, a wise Lion, a brave Forest Owlet, and more.
Each story conveys important morals that are short, sweet, and to the point, giving children a handful of useful lessons to apply to their lives, like “Always try to do the right thing, even when no one else is watching.” These tales are brought to life with the warm and captivating voice of author and narrator, Laura Burges, exploring in vivid detail how one’s actions affect others; the importance of kindness; the strength of friendship; the value of thoughtful decisions; and the importance of letting go and learning to forgive.
