We are officially launching the Tara Baje Lai Lai, Nepali Children’s Book. Tara Baje Lai Lai is a Nepali rhyme that every kid in Nepal grew up with. One of my creative friends, W. Woods illustrated this beautiful book. It is designed so well and so beautifully that kids are going to love it. Kids are kids no matter where they grow up. So, this book is not only for those that speak Nepali, but for anyone who is a kid at heart. Dr. Suess said, “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” Come on a journey with Tara Baje Lai Lai and learn about a very special Nepalese tradition- a baby’s first rice feeding! Another aspect to this book is that when I was in Nepal, I saw that most parents were only able to afford academic books for their children. And so the only type of book Nepalese children are exposed to is often school books (which can be dull). I felt impressed to find a way to bring a love for reading to children in Nepal based on this observation. So, for every purchase of Tara Baje Lai Lai, we will donate a hard cover children's book to a child in Nepal. I am very passionate about this cause, and I hope that you will join me in spending a love of reading throughout the world! To join me, buy this book today! I know you will love it! If you order before 12/25/2016, you will receive 25% discount and free shipping. Cost of book prior to 12/25/2016: $15. Click on this link to order: https://squareup.com/store/jay...

Regarding Nepali children books: Most of the books are about abused by step mothers. God and evils. At the End: What children are going to learn from it ? What is the message it is giving to the children ?How it will help to shape children moral and mentality is not considered at all. Sometimes these books are not even fit for children story books because contents are not appropriate for children. Example: Abuse by stepmothers. Are there any books where a child lived happily with a step mother? I am commenting based on the children book I read (US) for my child. Each book has a message that will help to lead life to positive way. I hope this must have hidden message to young reader.

It is good question to ask and I asked similar questions. Without making it too complicated, I simply choose five books that I liked the most. I really really liked these books. So when I went to Nepal in November, 2016, I brought 50 of these books with a money I raised from friends here and donated to a child that I thought would use it.
