‘Holiday at Mehek Farm’ is one of the 17 storybooks in ‘The Grandma Earth Series’, conceptualized and developed by Prof (Dr) Shalini Verma ‘Lifoholic’ – Founder of Samvaw Foundation and published by Books33 (A Unit of Aadya Green Gifting Pvt. Ltd.).

The Grandma Earth Series has been highly appreciated by one and all – celebrities, social entrepreneurs, impact champions, civil societies & NGOs, academicians, parents and teachers. Pheroza J. Godrej – Chairperson – Godrej Archives Council & Godrej Mangroves and Executive Board Member – Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development International Advisory Council – says, “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 …”.

On the other hand, Shubhda VaidAuthor, Entrepreneur & Life-coach, saysThe whole series 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.”. In the words of Dr. Snehal Padhye – Director – Technical Strategy, Crown Biosciences, “The moral of each story 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!

The objective of this series is to make young children in the age group of 3-8 years aware about the Mission LiFE & 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As recommended by NEP 2020, STORYTELLING pedagogy has been adopted throughout this series “to engage and strengthen the Foundational Learning of the children of the age group 3-8 years going to Anganwadi/pre-school/Balvatika or class 1 & 2 of regular schools”.

Written by Katie Bagli, illustrated by Sushmita Karmakar and designed by Shamim Nida, ‘Holiday at Mehek Farm’ is based on SDG 3 – ‘Good Health and Well-being’. The story centres around a little boy Vihaan and his life-changing journey from a tall building in Mumbai city to a lush green Mehek Farm at Sawantwadi town.

In the encouraging words of Vijaya Chakravarty – Author, Ecologist, and Landscaper, Mumbai, “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’ 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.”
