One of a Kind

"This delightful magazine is a welcome addition to public libraries and elementary schools," says Multicultural Review magazine. If yours is a typical library, you probably have a few books on South Asian festivals in your circulation. Chances are your collection of contemporary storybooks with South Asian children as the protagonists is minimal. That’s why librarians from California to New York have embraced Kahani: it is an eclectic collection that blends together original storytelling with relevant, real life articles. It is told from the unique perspective of a child of South Asian descent growing up in North America.

For your convenience, Kahani is registered with subscription services like EBSCO, W.T. Cox and Magazine Subscription Service.

"Teachers have found valuable information in each issue, and they have incorporated this information into multicultural units in the classrooms. I have found many articles to supplement stories and information that I have shared with the children in the library."

"The magazine is well produced with a perfect blend of stories, puzzles, book reviews, cartoons, and history to entice children to browse it's pages. ... The first few issues have been well received; in fact all are currently in circulation. The staff at Kahani are to be commended for their vision and professionalism."

- Sherry Hesch, Supervisor of Children's Services, Public Library, Brookline, MA
