Bookaroo, India’s first children’s literature festival. It is a two day stretched festival which is inclined to fill in imagination and illustration amongst the age group of 4-14 years. It aims at providing children a whole package of drama, non fiction , thriller and reality found in one. The festival is a celebration of all the classics published especially for the young ones whether it was a storybook or a literature book or a comic. It aims to introduce the children to various characters of the stories by conducting various sessions , workshops , plays, performances, etcetera at JKK. This will not only entertain the children but also can encourage them to learn more about distinguishing characters and their inspiring stories.
