Author visit to Grade 3

Shiv Nadar School proudly hosted an enriching storytelling session for Grade 3 students on October 10, 2025, featuring the distinguished author Ms Divya Anand, known for her thought-provoking books like ‘Misfit Madhu’ and ‘I Hate My Curly Hair’. Ms Anand introduced her newest literary creation, "Agalaya in the Spotlight," a contemporary twist on the classic Rapunzel narrative, exploring poignant themes of friendship, challenges and self-acceptance amidst the experience of alopecia.

Through an evocative reading from the book, Ms Anand sparked the students' imaginations and gently guided them towards understanding diverse experiences. A subsequent creative activity encouraged students to visually represent themselves and identify their inherent skills, thereby promoting self-discovery and confidence. The session concluded with students thoughtfully sharing their reflections, underscoring the profound impact of stories on fostering emotional intelligence and celebrating individual uniqueness.
