The programme will be a meeting point for professional narrators from all over - Hungary, Singapore, Japan, Northern Ireland and Russia, among others. Closer home, author-columnist Vaishali Shroff shares her take on channeling inclusivity, “It’s also about children who can hear getting an idea of equal treatment.” Shroff will be narrating parts from her book, The Adventures of Padma and a Blue Dinosaur. Her book fits into the theme as it describes stories of protagonists who time-travel to 65,000 millions years ago and give a picture of how dinosaurs walked on the Indian Subcontinent. It’s a treat for all those who love the interlacing of fiction and non-fiction.

Shreedevi Sunil, a Mumbai-based puppeteer and founder of Talking Turtles Storytellers thinks it is the sensory experience of a performance that attracts kids to a story. Words, sounds and expressions mould a visual language that mesmerises and draws one in. Her act is an interesting one; it narrates a few stories from The Jataka Tales and Panchatantra series. Although a thousand years old, these stories are relevant to our times. They are a testament of all things that have travelled through time and will continue to do the same, helping us learn and unlearn.
