, I have been dealing with questions about different religions as my two children (10 and 8 years) have been visiting different places of worship as a part of their school curriculum. The ‘Amma Take Me’ series (published by Penguin Random House India) is an attempt to answer these questions. Written as a travelogue of sorts, the series touches upon our major religions, their history and mythology through the conversations of a mother and her two children as they visit India’s important places of worship. The series has three books so far on the Golden Temple, Tirupati and the Dargah of Salim Chishti.
History and travel are two great teachers. History tells us about who we are and where we come from. It teaches us lessons and inspires us. And what could be a better way to learn about our heritage than travelling to these wonderful monuments? It’s so much more interesting for children to be able to see, smell and get a sense of a place by visiting it, rather than just reading about it. It’s fun and learning happens only when children are having fun.
