    Reading isn’t always about learning new things and scientific facts. As much as I would love my daughter to browse through the pages of the encyclopaedia to know facts about the solar system and animals, I would also want her to enjoy some fun time reading nice stories. Simple ones, with just a wafer-thin storyline and no big morals or preachy lessons. Here is one such book I got her recently.

    We all love to sleep. But what about the very few of us, who are unable to? (Yes parents, this isn’t about our sleepy nights with newborns ;)) The story deals with how a king, who is unable to sleep, in the night remains drowsy in the day time and how everyone in the kingdom comes up with suggestions to cure this rare condition of the king! Kottavi, in Tamil means yawn and the king is aptly called as Kottavi Raja! If you need tips on falling asleep, this book has plenty of them 😉

An engineer by profession but a writer by passion, you will find Janani penning articles or reading long-forms on the internet.
