Stories are the best ways to connect with people. For children’s author Menaka Raman, the best bit of writing books is that she gets to take them to schools and libraries and read to young children there. Did a joke she added the last minute land well with her readers? How did children react to the protagonist’s situation? What would they do in a similar situation? It is through these interactions that Menaka finds out if she has touched a chord with her book.

If you observe carefully, you will find that there is always something to read between the lines in every story. It is from these ‘in between the lines’ that stereotypes get created, biases generated, and prejudices formed. So the next time you read a story, read it critically.

We are all so very comfortable and happy in our standardized world that when we hear or see something that is outside the norm, we reject it. But unless we include different perspectives in our stories, how are we going to build an inclusive world, a world that is home to all?

When one thinks of philosophy, one immediately frames it as a subject for adults. But children can be quite philosophical too. How can we feed and help this philosophical bent in children grow? Can stories help?

If you are a science teacher, then you surely have encountered utterly bored or extremely terrified students when teaching taxonomy—a topic that is as confusing as it is important. In primary classes, stories are often used to teach children, but we don’t attempt to use this method in high school. Why? Won’t high school students enjoy listening to stories?

Even though climate crisis has been upon us for a while now, we don’t see any serious intent among people or governments to tackle the problem. Climate change is a unique challenge facing mankind. It is a problem whose effects will be felt not now but later. Perhaps that is why people don’t feel the need to act now? So, we need to imagine new ways to instill the urgency of the problem in people. We need to change the way we tell the climate crisis story.

Literature first made its appearance in the form of the spoken word. As man evolved, so did his curiosity and imagination. Stories soon became a medium to acquire, store, and retrieve information. While the oral literature tradition lives on today in modern day storytelling events, with the entry of AI into our lives, one doesn’t know what the future holds for this tradition.
