Back in Brown

Shopping for a birthday present for a 6 year old is a tough job. Do they really need another truck or anatomically unrealistic doll? We think not.

This year why not give the little tykes something they can relate to?

Kahani, is a unique award winning magazine geared towards South Asian children living in North America. The first of its kind, (why didn’t anyone think of this before???), Kahani is secular and non-political, which means everyone from Khonas to Khans can appreciate the sweet and endearing stories.

With tales about summers visiting Grandma (remember the first time you saw cows on the street?), geography lessons about the Himalayas, and upping your cool factor with “magical” henna tattoos, Kahani offers a whole new perspective on growing up South Asian in, well a non South Asian culture.

The contributing writers are also published authors and illustrators as well. On the website you can purchase some of their works including "Mama's Saris”, "Bollywood Babes" and "Looking for Bapu", as well as subscribe to the magazine itself. And even better, the hip writing and gorgeous illustrations means us grown-ups can appreciate the stories too.

Don’t worry. We won’t tell anyone the subscription was for you.
