Tooth Tales and Monsoon Magic- Pratham session 6 & 7

Was part of the ALD Dental camp and narrated tooth related stories  to slum kids in Sarjapura- 90 of them!

With Chennai being hot, this was a wish filled session
Did Tsunamika and Two Pratham tales for a dear friend's daughter and her gang
Also inspired by Kapiti Plain we made rainmakers and had some lovely activities and lots of rain related songs

Pratham Tentastic 4 ( in Mumbai) and 5 and more!

Conducted my first ever story session (during lunch break!!) at Mumbai thanks to Devaki of Little Reader's Nook. Did both my books and The Missing Bat from Pratham. What fun we had!

Saturday opened with a session in the neighbourood for Pratham Tentastic and folks generously donated towards Kidwai kids. Thanks to R aunty who helped organise the session there;

Also did a maiden session at Chooku Booku, run by an enterprising ex journalist Chetana. It was different from my story sessions as the focus was how to create a story and tell one. Pics here.

Art's Tales at Hamleys

My first time at Hamley's as a storyteller as part of a larger Summer camp.
I was the last event of the series and was glad we had a good turnout

Did more stories than usual keeping in mind the floating population.
Overall theme was the Lion and the Mouse, peppered with: A Husband for mouse, Snoring Shanmugam, Martina the cockroach, Talkative tortoise and Ranganna.


Interesting experience. More pics here
