Wishing our lovely author Nalini Sorensen all the very best as she takes her debut book to a school event tomorrow after a long hiatus! The book is back in print after 2 long years and we couldn't be happier!

I’m taking my first baby, ‘Alphabet Dress-up’, out tomorrow! It’s to a pre school in Bandra. It’s been a LONG while since I’ve been around such littlies. I’m sitting here trying to plan my session, fully accepting that there’s only so much you can plan, when it’s with children in the 2-4 year age group.

The truth is, with these tiny tots, it NEVER goes to plan.

And that’s the best part. ❤️

Brown like Dosas, Samosas and Sticky Chikki

Author: Rebecca Manari
Illustrator: Heetal Dattani Joshi
Age Recommendation: 6+

Written in a lyrical poetry format, this is the story of a little girl Samaira who finds a magical jar which transports her to a Red House with no windows up on the clouds. There she meets a 'Purple Lady' named Anahi who tries to lure her into changing her skin colour from Brown to a beautiful White like snowflakes and dove. But Samaira insists on being brown like dosas, samosa and sticky chikki. She remembers her mum's words of wisdom that - Everywhere you go,
and all around the world,
Always remember,
you precious girl,
Whatever be your unique shade,
Pretty and perfect you've been made.

This is yet another wonderful book to inculcate body positivity among kids. Loving yourself the way you are and being confident in your skin is a message that comes across very beautifully in this book. The illustrations are as vivid and self-explanatory as the little four line poems on each page.

We asked our Featured Author of the Month Nalini Sorensen a question each about her books/book series.

Here's what she had to say when we asked her what's special about her books "Alphabet Dress-Up" and "Number March" published by Funokplease

" Alphabet Dress-up was my first published book, and Number March was my second. These two books have a very special place in my heart.

I’m sure there are a million books available on letters of the alphabet and numbers, but Alphabet Dress-up and Number March offer an unusually imaginative twist to letters and numbers. I think both these books are clever and utterly delightful. " -

Preparing for my online Zoom session with a school in Mumbai. I’m reading my second book ‘Number March’, illustrated by Shraddha Pimputkar, and published by the fabulous Funokplease family.

Should I use seven chakras as an example for the number 7? Should we get them started early on balancing chakras? What do you think, .vyas , @ Sonali Jain? Hahaha
