Talking about his reading preferences Zaheer Khan said, &ldquo;I like quick reads, Abhishek Talwar&rsquo;s book The Adventures of Biplob the Bumblebee is easy to read and tells us a lot about values.&rdquo;
An entrepreneur and father, Talwar said, &ldquo;It all started with me explaining different complicated science concepts with the same characters in story form to my kids. They became so interesting and easy to recollect, I had to write them down. I am writing several stories at the moment- one with Chef Jerry as the protagonist, another is called Rakshasas of Bharat and I write travelogues as well.&rdquo;
Speaking about building role models Sagarika Ghatge said, &ldquo;I think it is important to learn from stories about values of friendships. I believe that&rsquo;s how role models are built. Not by exposing kids to several role models at a time but learning from the characters in a story&rdquo;
The Adventures of Biplob the Bumblebee consists of three short stories. The protagonist Biplob, inculcates love for nature and how to conserve it and has a simple narrative explaining the concepts of pollination, rainwater harvesting and natural pesticides through colourful illustrations.
The vibrantly illustrated stories promise to teach kids something new through lessons on science and friendship.
