Varsha Seshan’s Book Club (Ages 7 and 8) – August 2022

June 19, 2022 by Varsha Seshan Leave a Comment

REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR THIS EDITION OF MY BOOK CLUB. The next one will begin in October 2022, and I will open for registrations in the first week of September. Watch this space for updates!
During each edition of my book club, we have 12 online interactions (45 minutes each), during which we read excerpts from four books. Based on what we read, we build links with other activities, including listening, performing, writing and critical thinking. Do note that classes are held on Zoom and that there are only nine seats per batch!

In August and September 2022, we will be reading Petu Pumpkin Tiffin Thief (Arundhati Venkatesh), The Great River Magic (Nandini Nayar), Ivy and Bean (Annie Barrows and Sophie Blackall) and Help, My Aai Wants to Eat Me! (Bijal Vachharajani).
