Later, the author will give out bookmarks to the children as a small keepsake.
“Story is a place which is loved by the children, for whom we keep on doing varied activities throughout the year. We are very happy to launch Swati Sengupta’s book at Story. The enthusiasm with which the children have participated is remarkable”. said Sidharth Pansari, Chief Story-teller, Story & Managing Director, Primarc Group.
Swati Sengupta is a journalist on a sabbatical. She took a break from work to write some books for the young, and mostly to be able to talk endlessly with her six-year-old son. She writes in whatever time she is allowed in her baking-travelling-gardening overdrive.
