Honesty, kindness, courage and the other everyday values, told as stories where your child faces a small real choice at home, in school or in the colony and makes the right one. Pick a value, choose a story idea, add a photo, and the illustrated book starts right away.
Owning up, returning what is not yours and telling the truth even when a fib would be easier.
Small, quiet acts that make a neighbour, a classmate or a stray puppy feel less alone.
Speaking up, trying again and doing the scary thing anyway with a wobbly, brave heart.
Tiffin boxes, crayons and cricket bats go further when they are passed around.
Noticing the people and small things that make every day good, and saying thank you out loud.
Waiting for a turn, a seed or a slow little brother without giving up or grabbing.
Making a new friend, keeping an old one and standing by them when it is not the easy thing.
Looking after a pet, a plant, a promise or a little job because someone is counting on you.
Listening to Dadi, helping Nana and greeting neighbours the way a good heart does.
Brushing, washing, eating the dal and playing outside because a happy body is a strong friend.
Passing the ball, pulling the same rope and making room for one more, because the pandal, the play and the park all go up faster together.
The tabla beat that will not come, the kite that will not fly and the cartwheel that keeps tipping over, tried again with a new plan and a stubborn grin.
Letting go of the broken toy, the told secret and the missed school play, so that a sulk turns back into a friend, a sibling or a Papa.
Why is the sky blue, how does a chapati puff and what is inside the old radio, asked out loud and explored safely until one answer opens ten new questions.
The new kid alone at lunch, the tired house help, the wet watchman, and a child who feels in the chest what they feel.
The vase in pieces, the wrong name blamed and the joke that stung, followed by the hardest sentence of all, said properly and made right.
