Day One: Read Something New!
Spending a Sunday afternoon with enthusiastic children at the British Library is such a joy! The idea of this workshop was to get over Geronimo Stilton and Wimpy Kid, and begin to read something new. I know too many children who finish their Geronimo Stiltons and then say they have nothing more to read. With […]

Storytelling Photographs
Here are a couple of photographs from my storytelling session at The Cultural Centre. Looking forward to my next workshop!
Storytelling at The Cultural Centre, Pune
What better place to tell stories than in the silence of a place surrounded by nature? The Cultural Centre Pune is ideal. I had a truly enjoyable session with five children from three different countries. In keeping with the international spirit, we told stories from three different countries. And then, I had the fortune of listening to […]

Day Five: Reading Workshop at JustBooks
Another workshop came to an end yesterday. Lots of parents came in and asked me when I would do something like this again. Soon, I hope, soon. For now, I am filled with gladness. Comics, stories, poems, myths … A reading workshop is so fulfilling!
Day Four: Reading Workshop at JustBooks
My reading workshops are always learning experiences. If not for those who attend mine, for me! Yesterday was a day of comics and stories. One child made a comic depicting a race to win a golden sword. One write a fable and illustrated it. One wrote an essay with a picture. They showed me, again, […]
Day Three: Reading Workshop at JustBooks, Wanawadi
Each day brings more happiness! Yesterday, day three of my reading workshop at JustBooks, was lovely. We told a story together, then wrote letters and played a new game – the Word Train! Children constantly inspire me to be creative!
Day Two: Let’s Read at JustBooks, Wanawadi
One hour is not enough for everything I like to do with the children at the workshop! It was still lovely, though, with understanding copyright (and asking whether Google will know who owns the copyright for the Bible) and telling stories. Myths, book covers, publishing, copyright and a quiz – all on Day Two of […]
Day One: Reading Workshop at JustBooks, Wanawadi
The week began with another reading workshop! It’s a new place for me, with new children and new activities. One thing remains the same, though. It’s still all about books and a library is the perfect place! It’s not too late to join in – come, Let’s Read, at JustBooks, Wanawadi, Pune!
Day Five: Reading Workshop at Friends Library
Another wonderful reading workshop came to an end today. “Five minutes more.” “Please, last day!” “Can we stay till 1?” “Please …” Despite everything, we did not finish at 11:30 as planned, but at 12:30! It’s hard to refuse when children want more time with you!
Days Three and Four: Reading Workshop at Friends Library
“How can it already be 11:30?” “Time is already up?” “I could sit here for five hours daily!” “Why is tomorrow the last day?” Today, Day Four of Exploring the World of Stories, my reading workshop at Friends Library, I ended up extending my one and a half hour […]
