Storybooks have a gentle way of opening up the world to children. On StoryWeaver, you will find worlds that introduce children to the world right outside their doors and to faraway lands. From fantastical settlements to humble hamlets, from the Sun’s home in the clouds to a boy who dreams of a pizza while looking at the moon, each of these stories, carefully curated, offer a step towards learning and appreciating the world around them.

Growing up can be difficult, and we at Pratham Books believe that relatable stories can make ideas that might otherwise feel too big, too complex, or too distant feel right at home. The curations here can help parents, teachers, and facilitators help these young children navigate the world. They’re grouped by languages and designed thoughtfully to be relatable, simple, and accessible to every last child.

We hope they become gateways to help those new to the world of words build a lifelong love for reading—one joyful story at a time.

b. Character-focused stories

These are stories focusing on the characters in them, which can benefit children in various ways! Children naturally put themselves in characters' shoes, building empathy and relating to their own emotions. By having conversations that reveal more about the character’s feelings and motivations, children are also offered different perspectives, which in turn widens their own thinking.
