When children step into a story, they don’t just meet characters, they meet ideas that shape how they think. This November, Champaca is partnering with SkilLit Readers, a story-led skills lab, to launch the Emerging Readers Programme for children aged 6–9. This programme transforms books into springboards for reflection, expression, and connection, nurturing confidence, critical thinking, and creativity. In this first edition, children will explore the theme of inclusivity, engaging with books that open conversations about belonging, empathy, and courage. Our November–December batch will explore this theme through two wonderful books: Left-Out Paru by Bijal Vachharajani Manya Learns to Roar...

In Silent Journeys, we follow Mariamma, a young nurse from Manthalir, Kerala, whose remarkable journey in the 1940s was uncovered decades later by her inquisitive great-grandson. Her story is emblematic of the courage, resilience, and determination...
