We have an author in our midst…..
Swarn Lamba is a published author and tutor at our school.
She has just published a book titled: Let’s Play- Kanche and other Traditional games of India
This book is about traditional games played in India. There are 8 stories in this anthology. Each story is based in a different state of India and touches upon the culture of the state with a few words and phrases from the regional language used to create authenticity.
These showcase the unity within the diversity of India. Core values of respect, sportsman spirit, cooperation and collaboration are woven into the stories. It is easy for children to identify with the settings, characters and values as they read these stories.
Copies of this book will be available for students to borrow in our library soon.
