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, ‘The Roof that Flew’ is based on SDG 13 – ‘Climate Action’. The story centres around an old Snow Leopard and a Brown Himalayan Bear and their attempts to save the nest – where lived four chirpy chicks – in the chimney of the flying roof.

In the encouraging words of Dr. Beena Nayaken – an Experienced Leader and Educationist, “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.”
