Bagh mein talaab hai, hum rehtay hai jahan
Machlee nahee o yaara, maindak hai sub yahaan
These are the starting lyrics to one (my fav) of the 4 books being sold (along with musical CD of the 4 stories) by Dheere Bolo. Had been talking with a friend about the limited number of local stories we have for kids, especially nursery rhymes and how most kids these days listen more to the likes of hickory dickory dock rather than the akar bakar bambay bo types.
There is very limited information available online on the existence of Pakistan nursery rhymes, especially good ones. So its good to see some really nicely developed stories which inform, educate and as seen from the pics of niece below, excite kids. I hear they are making more stories and songs. Cant wait for them to be out. Well done guys, keep it up!
P.S. Some other guys doing similarly awesome work are Cutputli,The Environment Protection Fund and Alif Laila Book Bus Society - hope to post stuff about them soon!
