Actress Soni Razdan, who narrated the book as well, shared, “Kids eat a lot of sugar, and they need to be educated about its implications in a fun way.”

Talking about children using social media and the importance of reading, she added,

“These days, kids are introduced to technology and social media at a very young age, however, parents are getting conscious about this now.  It’s our duty to help them develop the habit of reading, as that’s how their imagination grows. Books are a beautiful mix of entertainment, education, and creativity. It’s lovely how The Little Festival has collaborated with NGOs, giving so many wonderful kids the chance to experience it.”
