I’m not going to lie, I cried when I read this book to my children. It reminded me of the lessons my nana (grandfather) taught me growing up. It is so beautifully done- from the message it imparts to the artistry- thank you so much for bringing this and all your other books into our (and our kids’) lives.

This story was so fun to read to my 4 year old son! The rhyming verses made the story so lyrical! The illustrations are child friendly and engaging. And I love that Durga Devi was so calm when being mocked for being a girl!! Such a special and fun way to learn about the beautiful stories of our heritage!

This is genius! I took these books into my son’s kindergarten class and they were a hit. He kept some pages for our family Diwali, and I can’t explain to you how much our family loved the concept. So well done!

My 4 year old son and I have read "The Curious Case of Krishna" a few times now. Yesterday, we read it in my mom's presence and I could see her smiling the entire time. I have such fond memories of hearing stories about Kahnaiya from my grandma and reading this book all together sparked memories for all of us. I love the poetic verses and the sweet illustrations. In this book, I was able to see all the light-hearted depictions of Krishna -- the butter thief illustrations made us all laugh. Thank you for helping me to pass on these stories to the next generation!

We have all the books and this is definitely the kids favorite. Every time they have big feelings - they close their eyes and say “Om Namasivayam” five times..

We love our Modi Toys books. We have a multicultural family and it is hard to find books and toys for our daughter that are age-appropriate for a toddler and also provide exposure to her Indian culture. Thank you for these great board book stories!
