My Initial Experiences at Bookworm
For two years I passed by this unassuming red building named Bookworm. I never thought of entering, thinking that it was only a children’s library (my loss). My journey at Bookworm started when a friend, Krystle, who works with them told me about the work they did and asked whether I would be interested in […]
Picture Poetry or Poetree
What did the good teacher’s do, when the children were not reading poetry. That’s right! They shaped it up! The book ‘Picture a Poem’ by Gina Douthwaite (Author, Illustrator), allowed us to do just that. It had poems in all sorts of shapes – rocket, shoe, bat, dinosaur and more. We read some of these […]
CRAWLING By Apoorva Parab
Found myself in a book, big and boring.. No laughter, no innocence, no imagination, no stories.. Enough of law, enough of lexicons.. Packed my apple and went searching..

Exploring the Summer Night Sky through Stories
What can be done on a summer’s night, which cannot be done on a summer’s day? Lying down beneath the dome of our sky and gazing above. No clouds are likely to float by. Even if they choose to visit on a no-moon night, they glisten a silver grey, just for you. Somehow the hot, […]
The Promise
Do you know what promise means? Of course you do and the children in Cacra and Chimbel know it too! They shared with me some of the promises that they had made and those that they had kept too! It was good to know how the children felt about the word ‘promise’. Their understanding was […]
A Fine Bookworm
Nicole Remedios find a nest where it’s actually Book warm! On a fine rainy day, Gayatri Borkar walked the Santismo lane in Taleigao. Splashing in little puddles along the way, she noticed a pink house named ‘Bookworm’. Now who haven’t heard of this place yet? It’s pretty obvious to have seen few books labelled Bookworm […]
