What if, this Ganesh Chaturthi, your child didn’t just welcome Bappa home?
What if they could actually go on an adventure with him?
Ganesha and I is Talered’s personalised illustrated Ganpati book that you can customise with your child’s name.
Written by Usha Venkatraman, an award-winning storyteller and founder of the Mumbai Storytellers Society, and Gitanjali Chandrasekharan, founder of Talered, the book follows the adventures of a child who bonds with Lord Ganesha during the festive season.
On the day of Ganesh Chaturthi, Bappa visits the child and the two go sightseeing in Mumbai, visiting its various pandals and even stopping for an ice cream on Marine Drive.
A Mumbai adventure with Bappa
Illustrated by Avani Kumthekar and Vaidehi Chavan, the book also tells many stories of Ganpati. His love for modaks, why Mushik is his vaahan, and how he is pretty good at maths!
It’s a small story, but one filled with familiar details that make Ganesh Chaturthi feel personal, joyful, and close to home.
What makes this Ganpati book personal?
At the heart of the book is a simple idea: that children love seeing themselves in stories.
The book can feature your child’s name, making the adventure feel like it belongs to them.
Last year, the book was featured by both mid-day and Mumbai Mirror, introducing readers to the idea of taking a child on a storytelling adventure with Bappa.
This year, we’re bringing the book back. This time, the adventure could be yours.
So, Phorum’s Adventures with Bappa could become:
Aarav’s Adventures with Bappa,
Or:
Myra’s Adventures with Bappa.
A personalised Ganpati gift they can keep
Children may forget some of the gifts they receive during a festival.
But a story in which they are the protagonist can become something they return to again and again.
