Children's Literature
Exposing children at a young age to meaningful literature can empower them to reflect and traverse beyond their socio-cultural contexts. Books can nudge children and adults to raise questions about their lives, experiences and society. Books can open doors for children to challenge historical biases that put varied groups at a disadvantage. Books can even push children to question eveyday mysteries such as why the sky is blue.
In the past few years, Wipro Foundation has supported and facilitated the publication of children’s literature that helps our young ones to inquire, engage and reflect. We are sharing here a few children’s magazines and books that we have supported over the years
