Celebrating Storytelling and Cultural Heritage: A Special Session with Author Ms. Sudha G. Tilak
Our Kindergarten learners were privileged to attend an engaging storytelling session with renowned author Ms. Sudha G. Tilak, who introduced her latest book, The Great Toy Debate. Through expressive narration, Ms. Tilak brought to life characters and stories that celebrate toys from across India, igniting young imaginations.
A highlight of the session was the vibrant showcase of traditional toys, including Laiphadibi dolls from Manipur, Matryoshka dolls from Russia, cloth dolls from Kolkata, and Rajasthani puppets. The children were captivated by these treasures, eagerly asking thoughtful questions and sharing their own personal toy stories.
This enriching experience not only sparked creativity but also deepened our learners’ appreciation for cultural heritage and the timeless art of storytelling. At Shiv Nadar School, we believe in nurturing a strong reading culture from the earliest years, and opportunities like these foster a love for literature, curiosity, and a lifelong passion for learning.
