As a mother of twins, I am delighted to share my thoughts on the Grandma Earth Mission (GEM) LiFE Series, a captivating collection of seven storybooks by Books33. This series is a wonderful initiative to inspire young minds to embrace sustainability and environmental awareness. Watching my children explore the stories of Aadya, Chamcham Uncle and their world has been truly heartwarming. What makes this series even more special is seeing Sneh Anand, whose journey I have followed since her early days in Delhi Metro, blossom into a creative force for social responsibility. The GEM LiFE Series is a brilliant milestone by Books33 and a valuable resource for shaping eco-conscious a Pallavi Sinha nd mindful future generations.

The Grandma Earth Mission (GEM) LiFE Series is a truly commendable initiative that beautifully nurtures environmental values in young minds. As an environment enthusiast, I deeply appreciate the series’ focus on small, actionable steps that align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Heartfelt appreciation to Books33 and Prof (Dr) Shalini Verma, a certified ESG Impact Leader and passionate sustainability advocate, for conceptualising and developing this inspiring collection of seven titles. Set in the quaint village of Gompa, the stories blend wisdom, simplicity, and charm, with the wise Chamcham Uncle guiding curious children.This series is a must-read, sowing seeds of sustainability for a greener future.

It gives me immense pleasure to see this Grandma Earth Mission (GEM) LiFE Series, a delightful collection of seven storybooks brought to life by the vision of Books33. This series is a shining example of their dedication to nurturing sustainability and environmental awareness in young minds. What makes this moment even more special is seeing Sneh Anand, who began her journey in Delhi Metro under my HR leadership, evolve into a beacon of creativity and social responsibility. Her contribution to this series reflects not only her professional growth but also her commitment to making a meaningful impact. The GEM LiFE Series is a proud milestone for Books33 and a powerful tool for shaping eco-conscious global citizens.

The GEM Series, innovatively conceptualised by Prof Dr Shalini Verma, highlights the role of children as 'Future Leaders' in sustainability. Aligned with the National Education Policy 2020 and Mission LiFE, it integrates Sustainable Development Goals to foster global commitment to sustainability and healthcare. These stories instil values of conserving biodiversity, saving energy, reducing waste, and promoting a circular economy. They encourage healthier lifestyles, sustainable agriculture, and awareness of Corporate Social Responsibility. By nurturing eco-conscious habits, the GEM Series contributes to mitigating climate change and supports the triple bottom-line approach of sustainability: Planet, People, and Prosperity.

Kudos to the Grandma Earth Mission (GEM) LiFE Series for its remarkable effort to “catch them young.” This thoughtfully crafted series is designed to inspire young, impressionable minds to adopt simple daily habits that align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—and it succeeds beautifully.
Set in the charming fictional village of Gompa, these stories capture an old-world simplicity that resonates deeply. The wise Chamcham Uncle imparts his insights on sustainability, while lively and curious children lead the way with their infectious enthusiasm to solve problems. The colourful, visually appealing graphics further enhance the stories’ readability, making them an absolute delight. This series is a must-have for every child—a perfect blend of inspiration, learning, and fun!

Each one of us is a story. Influence of grandmother’s stories is tremendous, with added values of insights of life influencing changes. The GEM LiFE Series is a commendable effort to weave sustainability into the fabric of daily habits and behaviours through storytelling. Such narratives leave a lasting impression on both subconscious and conscious minds, inspiring children to take meaningful action.When one child adopts sustainable practices, they become a role model, creating a ripple effect of change. Characters like Aadya, Mini, Reyansh, Anil, and Chamcham Uncle echo the timeless wisdom of Panchatantra, making these stories powerful educational interventions for a sustainable future.

“What a wonderful idea it is to embark on a venture of creating 17 different stories, each story book crafted to be based on one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the United Nations! This brilliant endeavour by the publishers - Books33 and SAMVAW Foundation - to implant the seeds of sustainable living in young, tender minds”.

“The books of the GEM Series offer a wide-open, clear, child-friendly style and are suitable for kindergarten/school areas as an introduction to a contemporary topic as well as for educational reading aloud in the family”.

“The whole series of GRANDMA EARTH MISSION is fluid, simple and engages young readers’ mind in Aadya’s and her friends’ inquisitive interactions with Chumchumwalla while subtly conveying the importance of preserving our eco-system, values and community living.”.

“Pooja Gupta Mahurkar has written a moving story that beautifully weaves a child's curiosity and a parent's love with themes around indigenous innovation, sustainability and closeness to nature. With lively characters and vivid descriptions of village life, the story in ‘Chinna’s Gharat’ of GEM Series comes alive in the reader's mind.”

“The initiative by Books33 to write children’s stories around the SDG goals of the United Nations is indeed commendable, and ‘Crocky’s Monstrous Mouth’ does a remarkable job of covering the goal of partnerships through its simple yet enthralling narrative told in a lucid and amusing style. Katie Bagli adds yet another exquisite gem to her enchanting collection of nature stories for children through this delightful tale of a crocodile and ‘dentist’ birds.”

“India will be radiant when our children are free to dance in the rain,” these words from one of Azim Premji’s essays came to my mind when I started reading ‘Holiday at Mehek Farm’ one of the 17 books of the GEM Series authored by Katie Bagli. The story of this book has enchanting panoramic setting and lively characters like Vihaan and Rahul along with Pilloo - their four-legged friend.”

“India will be radiant when our children are free to dance in the rain,” these words from one of Azim Premji’s essays came to my mind when I started reading ‘Holiday at Mehek Farm’ one of the 17 books of the GEM Series authored by Katie Bagli. The story of this book has enchanting panoramic setting and lively characters like Vihaan and Rahul along with Pilloo - their four-legged friend.”

“I found the story ‘Isn’t this our Forest Ma?’ of the GEM Series, written by Katie Bagli both very moving and realistic. To write stories woven around the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals for the very young is an excellent idea as it very subtly directs the child towards a sustainable way of living and caring for our bountiful planet earth. ‘Isn’t this our Forest Ma?’ is very skilfully woven around the fabric of UN SDG 16 which is about Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions”

“Welcome to a journey of ‘Lizzy in a Tizzy’, one of the 17 titles of the GEM Series.  Here the author Katie Bagli takes you on an exciting adventure through the world of Sustainable Development Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. In the pages of this lovely story, you will discover the power you as children, hold to make our planet safe and sustainable.”

“In GEM Series, there are 17 storybooks on various themes for children, such as courage, patience, confidence and so on. What sets Pooja’s book – ‘Mango and the Teak’ apart is that it teaches young minds the essential element of equality. The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 10) of equality has remained a topic of concern. However, this is a beautiful attempt when the importance of equality is being conveyed to children through a story with a historical background. The author deserves accolades for her attempt”.

“Welcome to the enchanting world of storytelling, where words have the power to transport us to far-off lands, introduce us to fascinating characters, and ignite our imaginations. While reading Katie’s book ‘The Roof That Flew’, you will embark on a special journey—one that not only entertains but also enlightens and empowers us to make a difference in our world.”

“As climate change sets in, it is necessary to spread awareness among children about how nature works. GEM Series adopts storytelling, which is the best way to do so. Boondini’s life is a story of all rivers and their trajectories. Katie Bagli, an award winning children`s book writer, is an amazing storyteller who brings alive complex environmental issues and their solutions very simply.”

“The moral of each story in GEM series is very pertinent and deeply rooted in our all-inclusive culture and the theme of India's G20 presidency “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”, that translates to “One Earth, One Family, One Future.” Indeed, a fun read for one and all!”

“Pooja’s book ‘I See Tigers’ of the GEM series takes the readers into the delightful world of Gompa village. As we delve into the world of Gompa village, we are reminded of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 4) of Quality Education. The story exemplifies how quality education is not confined to textbooks and formal settings alone but extends to the exploration of the world around us, nurturing curiosity and celebrating our own rich heritage.”

“In her book ‘Is the Sun in My Bed?’, Katie has highlighted the importance of using renewable sources of energy and has discussed several forms including solar, wind and water. Her inclusion of how the story’s protagonist Ricky pedals a stationary bicycle to generate electricity illustrates how each of us can contribute to this effort.”

“Nature is as complex – perhaps more – than we humans are. In this complexity, however, simple solutions can be found. And Books33 has done just that with its GEM Series – a collection of 17 titles. Katie Bagli’s charming story ‘Urvi and the Termite’, takes us inside the underground world into the depths of unseen spaces in the ‘Alice-in-Wonderland’ style.  In building their homes, the termites work in harmony with the environment instead of damaging it. This is something that human beings certainly need to do as well.”

“In the enchanting world of children's literature, let's embark on a remarkable journey alongside Katie’s book ‘Weber the Spider’. Through the pages of this captivating tale, you will witness the extraordinary odyssey of Weber as he travels from the majestic heights of the Himalayas to the sprawling plains and arid deserts of India.”

“Explore 'Who Wants Roses': A captivating tale from the 'Grandma Earth Series', co-published by Books33 & SAMVAW Foundation. The message is conveyed in a very positive manner in Mahurkar's short story, 'Who Wants Roses?' where she uses the imagery of roses and lantana weed flowers in a garden. Through its unique storytelling pedagogy, the book sensitizes young minds aged 3-8 years to adopt sustainable living by embracing the principles of Mission LiFE & UN’s 17 SDGs”.

“My compliments to the publishers of ‘The Grandma Earth Mission Series’ and author, Ms. Pooja Gupta Mahaurkar, for the beautiful story – ‘Aaji’s Big Surprise’. Although it is supposed to be for children, there is a universal message for adults as well”.

“The story of Bhoomi, Bansi and Anil holds hope and speaks of individual and collective acts of kindness, speaking up for each other and allowing power structures to topple for the greater human good. The book ‘Bhoomi Vishnu’s Amma’ of ther GEM series jointly published by Books33 & Samvaw Foundation celebrates empathy and cooperation and allows entries into worlds of lack and illness”.

“In the vibrant world of the Sustainability Development Goals series, children embark on thrilling adventures across 17 captivating books, each dedicated to a different sustainable development goal. By coming up with these storybooks, Books22 has enabled young readers to learn valuable lessons about the power of compassion and teamwork. Each book unravels a new goal, inspiring young minds to make a difference and safeguard our precious Earth for future generations”.

“It is a unique series for it weaves the stories around important social issues such as inequality and quality education. Further, it orients children about Indian culture and ethos. What makes this series a must read is its simple and engaging manner through which heavy topics have been conveyed to little ones via discussion between children and Chumchumwalla. The authors are to be appreciated for maintaining the continuum in a very engaging manner”.

“In an ever-changing world that is facing unprecedented challenges, we as parents are holding the responsibility to empower our children with important tools. Those that can help them create for themselves a wholesome, healthy and thriving world which they can live happily in. Towards this end, the exposure of kids to the Mission LiFE & UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals is of paramount importance. Katie and Pooja's simple yet profoundly meaningful children's stories help introduce sensitivity to these goals. I laud their initiative and recommend this as a MUST read for all children and parents”!

“I read what the publisher and author stood for and without flipping through the pages, I blindly invested in this book set for my daughter. It offered a simple message in such a subtle way that it almost seemed an eye opener and it touched both daughter and Maas’ heart. Katie and Pooja say the simplest things we don’t think about in this ever-evolving world. It offers a message to slow down and acknowledge the goodness of what has been, what is and always will remain when we understand the true experience of being human”.

“Children are always the forerunners in bringing significant change in the society. Stories are one of the most efficient methods of communication to convey messages, especially among children. Mrs Pooja brilliantly narrates this folktale, emphasising the importance of eradicating hunger. Every kid who reads this story can, one way or another, connect with all the characters very well. Each of her characters comes to life for all our young readers.”

Stories are the best way to come closer to children and Dr Monica Khanna is doing fabulous work in that sense. It’s always mesmerizing to read the stories she creates. Not only the kids, but even parents enjoy every bit of them.

Little Chimpu’s adventure through the jungle wherein she discovers the truth about ferocious Sher Dadu, is a beautiful story about finding friends in the most unlikely of people.

This picture book is such a delight to read. The book is beautifully illustrated with a good story line and strong vocabulary. I liked in this book is using the relations like ‘chachu’, ‘mamu’ and others which the kids are missing due to nuclear family... I must say the author has touched the chord of the heart with the sweet language used in the book..It’s a must read book for all the young kids.

A Wormy Tale is a delightful picture story book that offers the curious mind of a child the perfect blend of fun and relatable characters, vibrant illustrations and significant learnings that seep in with simplicity and are finally sealed with the array of activities it offers. This is a book with a wholesome experience, so read on!

This lovely book teaches you to think smart and not get carried away by appearances. Best wishes to Dr Monica Khanna for her amazing creation.

Dr. Monica Khanna has come out with one more offering for you all. Such a wonderful and endearing story! It takes us to that time of our lives when we believed that everything around us is black or white. Childhood is so much fun and so full of innocence. The characters in this story are so believable, with human-like qualities. Kind, gentle, witty, intelligent, sharp, sly and so on... Each young reader will enjoy reading this story because it is so relatable. You can find people with such qualities all around you.

The well-crafted, colourful illustrations of the enthusiastic musicians among insects – grasshoppers, katydids and hawkmoths, the frogs with their crafty expressions and the thoughtful busy bee, make it a lively read. Woven into the story are the fun facts of each insect, making it educative and inspiring too, thus inculcating the love of nature to early readers.

Katie Bagli’s new book promises to bring back the concert we have missed ever since the pandemic hit us. She beautifully weaves science and fiction, urging her young readers to learn about the techniques used by the wetland musicians - the grasshoppers, the katydids and the hawkmoths. Then there are the subtle values and undertones that make for great learning for children the vacation in nature, the loving aunt, the dutiful bee, or even the love for the garden insects.

Katie Bagli’s stories are filled with wild imagination yet grounded in facts.She brings to life the mundane and often overlooked facts with wit and humour, in her stories, as also in ‘The Insect Concert’. Her characters are driven by a moral so subtle that children may hardly realize the important life values they are imbibing just by reading her books. Her stories are lessons in science and art as each panel bursts into vivacious colours and tickles the imagination of the young reader. Truly delightful and a must read for all.

This book ‘Insect Concert’ by Katie Bagli is another gem from her treasure trove of stories about nature. Through a simple yet novel story, she manages to develop an interest in the animal kingdom and also provide a new learning. There are some activities too which children will enjoy. The illustrations add to the storyline and make the book more interesting for the young reader. I wish Katie more power to her pen.

Sunny Side Up’ is a book of joy for every child. With colourful illustrations and child friendly language this book opens up a world of different kinds of food to the young minds.

An instant hit - With colorful illustrations and an engaging narrative, this playful nature book is perfect for curious toddlers. A Wormy Tale..an engaging, simple yet extraordinary new story from Katie Bagli, number one bestseller and fastest growing children’s author in the country

Through this story, A Wormy Tale, the author Katie Bagli highlights earthworms as a part of the ecosystem. Educators can use this story for crossdisciplinary and interdisciplinary thinking within the national curriculum. Katie’s love for nature is evident in all her books.

To be hired in today’s global marketplace, employers demand more than basic ‘hard’ skills. The difference between a frustrated candidate and a sought-after recruit, the long-term worker and a compelling leader, or the stagnant professional and the rising manager can be the ‘soft’ skills each exercises in the workplace. This highly researched book analyses the job environment of today and for the future where ‘soft’ skills become a more critical attribute. The reader gleans valuable guidance on how to acquire and improve these ‘soft’ skills for a more enriching career.

Alpha Zone book – ‘Sunny Side Up’ - shows the variety of food that is present round the world. All of us know the common pizza or burger but there are many delicious dishes out there that many have not experienced. This book encourages us to be curious and to learn, enjoy and experience the art of the culinary skill.

I’ve absolutely no hesitation in saying that even after working for 30+ years in Manufacturing and Education sectors, I was not able to correlate nonverbal communication skills of a person with his personality and credibility. But after getting in touch with Prof (Dr) Shalini Verma and going through her first book, ‘BODY LANGUAGE: YOUR SUCCESS MANTRA, (2005)’ I immediately fell in love with this beautiful subject and understood that body language is an important personality trait of any person. I am delighted to know that Dr Verma is bringing out a multi-title series of that inspiring book after 15 years, which is surely going to be another ‘hit’ and beneficial for the readers, especially the Gen Z youth, who gravely need the maturity to understand and cope with complex personal & professional relationships to move forward in life.

Children’s literature largely trivialises and glosses over such issues such as gender or colour biases. But this book deals with the sensitive issue of our proclivity or preference for fair skin colour. In the context of the Indian subcontinent, such debates and discussions should be encouraged so that children grow up with a healthy self-image and grow up with the right attitudes that skin colour is secondary to inner beauty. Dr Monica’s sensitive handling of this subject deserves to be applauded. Kudos!

This book talks about the fact that beauty has no standards - it’s the way one looks at one own self. I am sure this book will surely attract young readers. I wish all the best for the book.

Kudos to Books33 for coming up with a separate segment of Children Books under its imprint Alpha Zone. Your initiative will definitely make parents and teachers understand the importance of inculcating reading habits in your kids right from their young age. I appreciate Dr Monica Khanna for her bookSunny Side Up’ and love its ‘kahani mein twist’ which made it all the more exciting.

A lovely rhyming style and delightful words make this book effortlessly readable. Dr Khanna addresses a vital issue of our times in this allegorical tale of female crow.

One may speak good English, bad English, good Hindi, bad Hindi, a mix of Hindi-English or 'Hinglish', Spanglish, Pig-Latin, Gibberish, Mumbling or Double-speak, the sub-text that one's body speaks is just ONE -- CREDIBLE or NOT CREDIBLE! Be aware of your body language. You can lie in your words, but the body never lies. We communicate through our Body all the time, even when we don't realize it. However, there are very few expertswho can deeply understand, analyse and decode Body Language. Dr Shalini Verma is one of them.

Kyra’s Return Flight conveys through a delightful story the very important message that there is great joy and power in accepting ourselves as we are,and not falling prey to harmful social prejudices about what is attractive or good. I greatly recommend this wonderful book about loving oneself!

‘Sunny Side Up’ authored by Dr Monica Khanna is a slice of delight with just the right bite.

‘Sunny Side Up’ is a delightfully wicked book! A complete treat for kids of all shapes, sizes and taste; those who fuss around their meals and those who devour their food. A visual treat for the eyes that moistened my curiosity palate, as I turned each page to follow Sunny’s exciting culinary adventures. An astonishing finale, that enhanced some beautiful childhood memories.

Katie Bagli has two interests, nature and children. She has two talents, writing and drawing. As a story teller, she engages children with her colourful puppets and other visual aids, bringing to life the characters in her books.

Dr Monica Khanna’s new book ‘Kyra’s Return Flight’ dwells deeper into the age-old societal challenges of colour differentiation amongst humans. Through a simple life story of a crow, she brings to the front the problem that we have of self-pity and self-doubt that dark coloured people face through the generations. As a school principal, I definitely recommend Monica’s books in all school libraries and encourage parents to share a copy with their kids.

My compliments to the author for developing rich and novel content in an area that still lies underexplored. With so little information available on body language in the Indian context, I can imagine how much hard work
would have gone into creating a book like this. This book is beautifully crafted in terms of quality content and relevance in the current context.
