Event> TANA – Manchi Pustakam book release event 2021

Event date: 14th November, 2021

Manchi Pustakam’s collaboration with Telugu Association of North America (TANA) began in 2017, with a common intent to encourage children reading in Telugu. The approach we took was to have an open invite for original writings in Telugu, and have a panel select the most appealing entries.

We celebrated Children’s Day in 2021 with the release of the prize winning books. They included ten picture stories for children below 10 years, and five novels for children above 10 years.

Have a look at the set of 10 picture stories, which continue to remain popular to date. And browse the TANA – Manchi Pustakam collaboration tag for more.
