Her elder brother Saad, whom she called Ikka, football and Hrithik Roshan. It wasn’t that she didn’t love Umma or her little brother Faesal Kutty, but Saad, football and Hrithik Roshan occupied another plane of love which was mixed with admiration. And what bothered Bipathu more than anything else was that only Saad would ever know how...]]></description><link>https://www.kindheartedbooksforyou.in/post/bipathu-and-a-very-big-dream-by-anita-nair</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a3cc4ae4335688184479c2c</guid><category><![CDATA[Middle Grade]]></category><category><![CDATA[Children's]]></category><pubDate>Sun, 02 Aug 2026 08:38:49 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9b3a30_55fd86a3a6034b539c5bbb9eb129fa3b~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_480,h_640,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Tatiana Kadzharova</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA["Postcard from the Lushai Brigade" by Hannah Lalhlanpuii]]></title><description><![CDATA[Author: Hannah Lalhlanpuii Publishing date: 2023 Suggested reading age: 9-13 Opening lines: August 1942  "My head was a magician’s playground - sparks flying, wings flapping, lights whirling.

There are so many wonderful, absolutely unforgettable moments that stay in your memory forever. Some are the moments of sheer joy and exhilaration, others are quieter, maybe not as bright but just as special. Aren't they absolutely precious too? For me, those quiet but very vivid times with my daughters would often happen during reading time. I'd be waiting for the moment when they asked me to read aloud with a bated breath (Yippee!

In fact, it works better when read together, as it becomes far more engaging when shared and discussed.

The narrative voice across these stories feels just right - it's warm, accessible, and immediately engaging for young readers. I find myself wanting to collect all of them!
