Earlier in February, we hosted a book reading and launch of Alphabites Atta Galata, Bangalore . Alankrita .amaya organized a fantastic event where both kids and adults got to create their own mini accordion books. My mom had a great time coming up with an alliterative sequence using her name along with an animal or food pair.

Be sure to catch her next session BoB soon!
