We turn every page into an interactive performance using music, puppets, and plenty of movement. Whether we are navigating big emotions with *Angry Akku* or exploring folklore with *Kahaani Puraani*, every session is designed to make the story jump off the page and into the hearts of the children at our regular spot under Tree 2763. Our selection is intentional. We prioritize books that reflect the diverse Indian childhood experience—from Pratham Books classics that challenge gender stereotypes to indigenous creation stories from the Santal community. We move beyond the text to build connections. A session might start with a quiet reading, but it quickly evolves into a 'wiggle break' with action songs, sensory play with leaves and sticks, or even a craft activity to help children process the themes. **Why this matters:** * **Empathy:** Books like *Angry Akku* help little ones understand that feeling frustration is normal. * **Culture:** We celebrate festivals and traditions through storytelling to keep our roots alive. * **Resilience:** We choose stories that show protagonists overcoming challenges, teaching kids that failure is just a part of the journey. We embrace the reality of outdoor storytelling. If a child decides to run around or a story gets interrupted by a toddler's enthusiasm, we roll with it. The goal isn't perfect recitation; it's creating a space where families can breathe, listen, and connect in the middle of Bengaluru's busy life. ## About Cubbon Tales We started Cubbon Tales with just a mat, a few props, and a desire to share the joy of reading. Now, we’ve grown into a community that meets every Saturday to make stories come alive—sometimes with music, sometimes with joyful chaos, but always with heart.
