Guest Storytelling & Art Workshops in Cubbon Park

Our circle at Cubbon Tales is deeply rooted in the idea of shared learning. While I love narrating the tales that mean so much to my own family, there is a unique magic that happens when we bring in an expert to lead the way.

Why We Collaborate

We don't just pick guests at random. We look for creators—authors, illustrators, and art facilitators—whose work aligns with our ethos of inclusivity, curiosity, and kindness. Whether it is partnering with Pratham Books to explore gender stereotypes or having a guest author bring a book to life through dramatic reading, these collaborations offer our children a glimpse into the creative process.

What to Expect

These aren't static lectures. Because we are outdoors in the park, our guest sessions are just as dynamic as our regular ones.

• Hands-on Learning: Expect workshops that go beyond the book, like origami sessions or expressive art activities that help kids process their emotions.
• Direct Interaction: The best part is the Q&A. Seeing a child ask an author how they came up with a character's name is the kind of 'a-ha' moment we live for.
• Community Growth: We often invite parents to step in as storytellers too. It proves to the little ones that reading isn't just something professional adults do—it's something we can all do.

Our 'Kahaani Puraani' (stories of old) often get a fresh coat of paint when a guest storyteller brings their own perspective. We aim to keep these sessions accessible and diverse, ensuring that every weekend under the canopy offers a new lens through which to see the world.
