Bhakti Mathur's Amma Tell Me and Amma Take Me series of books are probably the reason a lot of Indian children know what they know about Indian festivals and historic places. Chatting with her on this episode of Tell Me A Story and understanding her process as a writer has made me understand how she takes her personal experience as a parent and turns it into a book that she hopes will benefit other parents. Her latest book Amma Take Me To the Taj Mahal, published by Penguin Books is almost a go-to guide for any family visiting the monument. Its easy-to-read style, the interesting questions asked by the children, and the effortless way in which Mathur weaves a story around the facts make this book your next must-buy.
