| Introduction | I love to Read. I will go so far as to say I am What I Have Read. I was fortunate to have discovered the magic and power of literature way back in school. But many of our children today don't get that opportunity. This is unfortunate because we have such a rich collection of books by Indian authors, illustrators and publishers today -- Something that was missing when I was growing up. In this blog I will share books for children that I read and that have been shared with me and recommended by friends. I hope all of you will take this forward by sharing what your children are reading,which books they love, those they dislike and in the process build a vibrant community of future readers. |
