Kids have a rare affinity for comics, says writer and illustrator Lavanya Karthik, most known for her comic series Ninja Nani and children's book Neel on Wheels, which recently won the Children First: Writing Contest.

Karthik along with renowned storyteller Usha Venkatraman and magician Urban Shamans will be coming together for the second edition of the Enchantico Lit pop. Organised by Enchantico — a curated book subscription box for kids — the workshop will include several fun-filled sessions for children between the age groups of five and 12. "The idea is to introduce kids to all kinds of books and literature," says Sangram Surve, co-founder of Enchantico. While Shamans will teach kids how to do mind-boggling magic with cards, coins, sponge balls, rubber bands, rings and even headphones, Venkatraman, a passionate puppetry artiste, will introduce children to the world of storytelling with her monsoon narratives.
