What does the mention of a history book bring to mind? More than likely, it conjures up images of yawn-inducing, boring readings of dates and events in history classes at school. Well, here is an endeavour at least beyond the textbooks, to make association with history a fun idea.
For the first time in India, Mapin Publishing has brought out five books for children, about UNESCO's World Heritage Sites in India. Currently, India has 37 World Heritage Sites, and going by the enthusiasm of the creative group, the pace of inscribing World Heritage Sites would soon have to keep up with the swiftness of the team weaving stories around the sites! This initiative by Roshni Children's Books and UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), is supported by Parag (Tata Trusts), and edited by Narayani Gupta. Kindling interest in young minds is an effective way forward for our heritage. These books evolve out of the simple rationale of exploring together and invoking curiosity in a child's mind. It is no wonder what fantastically varied forms can be reaped from these seeds sown early.
