BOI MELA 2024 / Ekushey Boi Mela: Children's books and what to expect
With only a few days to go, there’s still a chance to take the younger ones to the book fair and check out the wide range of books available
ESSAY / Ludic space for Tagore’s fictive children

POETRY / THE OTHER WAY ROUND
What makes You a boy, me a girl; Me a popper, you an Earl?
ESSAY / The wisdom of innocence
These stories, whether in books or movies, not only provide pearls of wisdom for young minds, but even subvert the preconceived notion that wisdom is cultivated with age
REFLECTIONS / Ink and memories: Revisiting the 'Anandamela' days
As a juvenile bibliophile, I used to see the copies as a delicate object greeting with utter care and affection.
THE SHELF / Book remedies for children from the shelves of CholPori

Book review: Fiction / Witnessing the council of animals in the Sundarbans
Mayurpankhi’s books have the calibre to engage readers of all ages. This book is not an exception either.
News report / ‘Island Life’: A collaborative children’s book
Through visualising the beautiful island nation of the Maldives and the unique environmental features of Bangladesh, the book hopes to foster an appreciation for our shared natural heritage and raise climate awareness.
