Work Description
Tulika is a publishing group based in Chennai dedicated specifically to producing books for children. The focus of Tulika is to give children images of India we would like them to grow up with; of how all its little parts come together to make it what it is — a diverse whole, and changing. These are the images Tulika hopes to share in a world opening up to more and more voices. Tulika hopes that its books will illustrate in concrete terms how multicultural societies the world over hold together, and how they must interact together.
Whether it is retelling a myth, a legend, or a folk story, contemporary story, books reflects the society the child is growing up in today. Skill to express this is a talent that comes from a good writer. The publishers and writers at Tulika express concerns close to their hearts; issues that are self experienced and communicate these issues sensitively. Tulika’s books reflect a contemporary reality. Tulika believes in publishing books that enhance a child’s reading experience. The focus is on the story and the way it’s told that can captivate a child’s imagination and senses completely.
Tulika also focuses on bilingual books. Tulika regards this as a very realistic way of teaching in a multilingual society. Tulika also has a list of Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi books. Stories from one language are translated and published in several other languages, wherever applicable and relevant.
