While visiting my parents, I was surprised to see that my daughter, who normally resists bedtime like the plague, was all snuggled in and asleep at a decent hour, next to my mom. When I asked my mom how she achieved the impossible, she said my daughter was getting bored of her stories and needed something more- a personal connect. Mom had fabricated a story- one with a goody-goody girl (by my daughter’s name!) and the other not so goody-goody girl. What they do the entire day, how they react to everyday situations was the crux of the story. That’s when it struck me- how great would it be if we could have story books for kids that had their names on it- rather than an Alice in Wonderland or Ariel the Mermaid?

2. Storybookme.in
Storybookme aims at providing personalised story books for children from the disadvantaged communities to inculcate the reading habit in them. It is a brilliant move considering the fact that underprivileged kids need a greater impetus to get into the reading habit. They conduct sessions with these kids 3-6 months prior to giving them the books. The sessions are often themed to talk about places they would like to visit, things that they’re scared of or even their most extravagant wishes for birthday gifts. One can also volunteer for their services by writing, illustrating, editing or help in directly engaging with the children.
