Gurugram (Haryana) [India], October 18: Scholastic India launches its latest children’s book, The Little Wave and Other Stories at Kunzum Books Art and Coffee, Gurugram. Organised by Foster Reads on the 6th of October, this launch received a great reception as co-authors Sonal Sachdev Patel and Ashley M Johnson discussed the journey of writing the book, the inspiration behind it, and what they hope it will bring to children and families across India.
The Little Wave and Other Stories is set in a magical garden, where a grandmother tells four uplifting stories to support her granddaughter through moments of hardship. Based on the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda and illustrated by award-winning artist Zainab Tambawalla, these stories have been written to help children build emotional resilience, hope and courage in the face of challenges.
The event received an overwhelmingly positive response, highlighting the importance of creating safe spaces for children to process emotions like grief. Prominent figures in literature and mental health also commended the book for its sensitive approach. Amish Tripathi, one of India’s fastest-selling authors, called The Little Wave and Other Stories “..a wise and compassionate take on an important subject”.
