Recommendations for Indian Cultural and Language Books

By May 03, 2023



Living outside of India, books have been a powerful medium for teaching my boys about Indian culture, festivals, and mythological stories. Over the years, I've accumulated quite a collection in our home library and while visiting the Crossword Bookstore in Mumbai recently, I discovered a few more!
Sharing names of books and publishers which have helped me in my journey over the years...

Language & cultural books:

  • Hindi by Reena - intro to Hindi for preschoolers
  • T4Tales - Bilingual (English and different Indian langaugess with beautiful illustrations for preschoolers up to age 5/6
