### My story

Hey Bangalore! We’re Bond Over Bindings, but most folks just call us BOB. Started out wanting a spot where books meant more than just reading - we wanted bonding, messy hands, and giggles. Ever seen a kid’s face during a bilingual storytelling session? Pure magic. Our studio in Jakkur’s now buzzing with parents, kids, artists, and those who love learning through play. 125 workshops deep, and it’s still all about stories, art, and community. To more chaos, more creativity!

### My work

- **Children's books, workshops, and more**: We’ve got new and pre-loved children’s books, plus art, STEM workshops for kids, book clubs, and birthday parties.
- **Our Space in Jakkur**: Bright, cozy, and open Mon-Sat. Kids run wild, get creative, and just be themselves.
- **Learning by doing**: Hands-on is our jam. Build stomp rockets, paint, mix up ‘Bram Bram Chok’ - learning’s always an adventure.
- **Bilingual Hearts**: Namma Bengaluru! Loads of Kannada-English and Hindi-English bilingual storytelling sessions. Stories, language, and laughter.
- **Community and Collaboration**: We team up with authors, artists, and educators for author meet-and-greet events and creative workshops. It’s always a mix!
