Help your child connect with their roots and discover new worlds through stories in Kannada, Hindi, Dakhni, and English.

Aao Padhein! Come read with us. Here is a peek at our wonderful collection of Hindi books, perfect for celebrating Hindi Diwas or for any family wanting to introduce the language to their children.

We had a fantastic bilingual storytelling session for "Khane mein Kya Hai?". Events like these make learning a new language fun and interactive for everyone.

This Hindi-English book about a trip to outer space is a great way to introduce kids to astronomy and a new language at the same time.

As a bookstore in Namma Bengaluru, I make sure to stock beautiful Kannada books like this one. It's wonderful for kids to read stories in their mother tongue.

This fun, interactive book is available in a bilingual format, making it a playful introduction to new words and sounds for young learners.

A lovely touch-and-feel book that also comes in a bilingual format. It’s perfect for sensory development and early language exposure.

We were so excited to host a comic jam with Hallubol, creators of the world's first Dakhni-English comic series. We love celebrating and preserving local languages and cultures.

About this collection

Choosing the right bilingual book is about making that first connection to a new language feel natural. We focus on interactive formats—like touch-and-feel books or illustrated mystery series—that pair local languages like Kannada or Hindi with English. This helps children associate new sounds with familiar concepts in a way that feels like play rather than a lesson.

At BOB, we believe that stories are the best way to keep a language alive at home. When you visit our Jakkur space, you will find books that do more than just translate words; they capture the rhythm of our local culture.

We stock works from independent Indian publishers and authors who understand the nuance of bilingual storytelling. Whether it is an interactive 'Gutar Goo' touch-and-feel book for toddlers or a thrilling detective series by Anupama K Benachinamardi for older kids, our shelves feature titles that make language learning an adventure.

We also frequently host 'Story Jams' and events like our recent 'Story Mohsaic' sessions, where kids meet creators like Rahil Mohsin, the founder of the world's first Dakhni-English comic series. These interactions show children that their mother tongue—be it Kannada, Hindi, or Dakhni—is cool, vibrant, and a part of the stories they love. If you are struggling to find books that represent your family’s linguistic universe, drop by. We are always adding new arrivals that bridge the gap between English and our regional voices.
