For children aged 0 to 4
Grandparents on an early train. An uncle who drove through the night. A cousin who arrived late and still in the wrong shoes.
This book is about the travelling: the house filling up hour by hour, the kitchen that never stops, and nobody minding the noise. It ends with the whole crowd gathered around one very small person.
The point of the last page is simple. All these people came a long way to learn one word, and the word was your name.
Everyone who travelled to be at the Namkaran, and what it took them to get there. It ends with the whole family gathered around the baby.
You can fill in several names and they each get a place in the story and the illustrations. This is the story in the set that handles a large family best.
That is precisely what it was written for. Long journeys and relatives arriving from far away are part of the story, not an afterthought.
Yes. Put the names and where they travelled from in the details field and we work them into the story.
