How playful can a monster be?
This storytelling session introduces children and parents to Monsters of my Mind, a book that explores art and expression. Through a collaborative drawing activity, children create their own monsters, and explore what their personalities might be. The monster may look funny, awkward, confusing or strange. Feelings can be like that too. But when given shape, they can be looked at with curiosity instead of fear, becoming something we can understand.
The session aims to introduce children to the power of artistic expression and start a conversation about understanding feelings, all while providing plenty of laughs and giggles!
Around the World in 50 Sundays is a journey that begins, not with a ticket, but with opening a book. In a city like Bangalore where families are always in motion, the BIC Library hopes to offer stillness and a quiet, welcoming space for both parents and children where reading becomes a shared experience. Every Sunday, we open our doors to invite you into a library that listens; building a rhythm of return, a habit of joy and a new community bound not just by books, but by the weekly ritual of reading together.
We welcome your ideas and input. If you have suggestions for children’s events or activities that align with this vision, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out to us at library@bangaloreinternationalcentre.org
