Gone are the days when the children’s literary scene had just a few popular names- and mostly from across the globe. The Indian literary field is brimming with new authors every day, and the range of work that we see as final output reaffirms the faith in quality books for our kids, now and in future.
At KSP Book Club, we have always made sure we send reccos out to parents and kids, that’s not all International authors but a healthy mix of Indian authors too. And this week, we decide to recognise and give a shoutout to 5 women in the children’s book space who are creating waves and are here to stay!

Natasha Sharma
In an earlier interview with Kidsstoppress, Natasha Sharma shares how things led her to this current journey and why she is enjoying it so much. Read the full interview here.
Being a published writer wasn’t in my various plans through college years. When I had my children, I returned to the world of children’s literature while reading to them. It was like the floodgates had opened and I had this urgent need to put it all down on paper. And I guess something things are meant to happen. And I became a writer.

What’s your book budget- for everyone in the family? Do you have a weekly or monthly allowance on how much you are willing to spend on books?
Not all have. And it’s awesome if you have a limit too. It’s just that make sure you encourage your kids to spend more on books and reading than on other stuff- simple.
And if you are looking to ways to save more while not cutting down on your reading time. Here is an awesome offer- only on Kidsstoppress!

Joke Time!
All kids love to tell a joke and laugh at their own joke. The best part is that they can laugh at the same joke over and over again. But did you know that is important to encourage a child’s sense of humour because it can brighten the mood at home or at school? Laughing together is a way to connect and a good sense of humour also can make kids smarter, healthier, and better able to cope with challenges.
The family that laughs together is healthier, positive and more spontaneous. So, are you and your kids ready to crack some jokes?
Tune in to our funny knock-knock jokes. Kids always love these and this is the best way to have a fun moment at home and it could be a conversation starter at school with their friends too!
