Book Uncle and Me looks intriguing and I plan to check it out sooner than later :). A book for Puchku remains a joy. Just checked out "Story Chikkappa" as well. Since I run a library space, I take inspiration from "Our Library" and hope to get there one day in terms of inclusivity and access. However, the first book about libraries that I had ever come across was The Library Lion and it remains a favourite.

A book for Puchku is such an adorable book ❤️ I remember this becoming a favourite when the kids were younger and suddenly it feels as if it’s been ages since we read it.

I wish we still had it 🥹 it’s such a sweet selection

Yes! I had given away my copy to a kid - but I recently reread it on storyweaver.

Hi Varsha! ‘A Book for Puchku’ is one of my go-to books for the read-aloud workshops I conduct. I also wanted to suggest “Story Chikkappa” by Reshma Bachhwani to you which is a tribute to the gram panchayat librarians of Karnataka. It is available on StoryWeaver
