  1. Dear Ma'am,

    We are from Chennai, TamilNadu,India.
    Our daughter has narrated a story after listening to an audiobook.
    She won the 2nd place in a story telling competition at national level for the same.
    Can I share the video ?
    Awaiting your reply.
    Thanks
    Regards
    Lakshmi

  2. Lovely speaking with you earlier.
    Thank you for your links... you’re doing a great job nurturing your child and encouraging her through all the activities you presently engage her in.
    Will feature her in one of our Chapters. Let’s see how to make this work.

  3. Have been enjoying listening to the stories. I enjoyed the variety of stories, the different styles of tellers and offering young children a platform as well. How very inclusive! Also like the interspersing with music/ song. Shantini does a great job weaving and connecting to the stories and sings. Keep it up!
