About our book ” I Wish I Were”
I am attaching a soft copy of our book for your reference. As I mentioned, this book is a retelling of an old Indian folklore, which we think is extremely relevant in today’s world
- Main message- You are OK! Its fine to feel inadequate at times. We all want to be someone else- thinner, fairer, richer, smarter… But no one is perfect and there is great joy in finding satisfaction. The story is in conversation with a crow -often ridiculed for his looks and voice, but comes a full circle.
- Look and feel -Large, colourful illustrations with a rich Indian feel which are perfect for little babies (0-3 years). The story becomes meaningful to kids 4-8 years given its relatability
- Experiential- The book comes with option to personalize for a child, with engaging add ons, like a jigsaw and colouring book based on the story and a beautiful keepsake box
- Extra highlight- The book can be customized and hence has the power to reach segments of the society not traditionally served eg Single Parents
