Indian Story Read Along reads aloud Indian cultural and mythological stories for kids. There are a tonne of these channels for western children's picture books but not a lot for only Indian stories.
This channel is run by an Indian mother who was raised in the west, with strong ties to her roots. Naturally, my first and greatest connection to my culture was story books I was given in the 1980s. Now in my late 30s, I kept those books safely for decades. Some of the books I read aloud are not in print anymore. I created this channel because I want these stories to live on after my actual books fall apart. Also, I don't want my kids to be the only ones who know of them.
All of the stories we choose take place on the Indian subcontinent or feature a main character who is South Asian. We do not feature stories with great amounts of violence. If you would like us to feature your picture book, please contact us at indianstoryreadalong@gmail.com, or on Facebook at @IndianStoryReadAlong.
