You don’t know Kayal?
Are you really for real?
Waking up to shake things up,
She will pour the world and drink it up.

Many of our children are growing up without meaningful connection to nature.
Their world? A concrete jungle.
Their nature? Man-made.
Where does clean water come from? Cans! Fresh air? Air conditioners!
Kayal, the Formidable aims to reconnect the younger generation with nature — the magical wonders of plants, animals and life around them. Kayal will empower them with awareness, kindness and knowledge. Adults reading to children can fill some gaps with tales from their childhood. Catchy verses, funny pictures and quirky characters will enthrall independent young readers.
Hundreds of children from Sikkim to Himachal to Tamil Nadu have met Kayal through Kathai Vidu storytelling sessions. We are hoping that this book will help her meet millions more.
