A new chapter for Schoolaroo.
Our first school-based festival at Prakriti School, Noida brings 13 speakers to campus for a day of literary adventures.
Our thanks to the school for recognising how powerful it can be for children to meet the people behind the books they love.
A huge thank you to everyone who made Bookaroo Delhi a success. The festival was a perfect display of joie de vivre, with everyone from young children to young adults enjoying their moment with books, reading and speakers. Ever so grateful to the kidlit community.
It’s been a while since we posted anything. Join us this weekend in @sundernursery to celebrate Children’s literature at this year’s Alpenliebe @JuztJellyIndia Bookaroo. Reading, writing, storytelling, art and craft. Let’s read for pleasure and spread the joy of reading!
The Publishing Next Awards were announced yesterday at IIC. Here are the winners of 2024. Eklavya (which does a lot of children’s books) won the publisher of the year award. Yay to that! @PubNext@leonardjensan
Attended a panel discussion on Children’s Books - An Indian Story. Interesting to hear the creators’ opinions on relevant issues in indian children’s literature. Missed out on mktg and sales aspect though. Hope to hear stakeholders’ opinion on that too. @ParagReads@EklavyaPitara
Young people looking to start up in #publishing, would love to hear from you if you are skilled with the English language, widely read, keen to become an editor, and willing to put in the work and the hours. Pl email me at [email protected]. @WestlandBooks
We are often asked about the changes Bookaroo has seen in the last 16 years. We say bring the focus back on reading for pleasure. Keep institutions and performance rating out of reading.
Up next. The 50th edition of Bookaroo. Seems like yesterday when a loose collective of authors, publishers, booksellers sat together to ponder over the feasibility of a litfest exclusively for children. All suggestions welcome. How do we make the 50th special?
It was an exhilarating November for Bookaroo! Three editions in 3 cities. More than 120 speakers conducting 208 sessions for close to 32,000 people. A big thank you to all supporters, speakers and of course the scores of parents who brought their children in.
We are all set to welcome children of Vadodara to Bookaroo children’s Litfest. 28 authors, illustrators, storytellers waiting eagerly to share their stories with you. See you there!
Baroda, here we come with our merry band of authors, illustrators and storytellers to spread the joy of reading. See you at Art District, Alembic City Nov 30-Dec 1.
Nov 9-10, Delhi.
Two days packed with stories, workshops, art, music, craft and nature. This year sessions for parents too! Watch this space for more.
16th edition in Delhi.
In a world full of information, parents are curating bookshelves with stories that inspire positive values and emotional intelligence. It's heartening to see how thoughtfully selected books are shaping young minds for a brighter future. https://t.co/EoRVkkFp8h via @timesofindia
