Fun-Wun By Sakhi Dipali Jogdand (English)

Dipali Jogdand’s children’s poetry collection, “Fun-Wun,” enriches the vocabulary and values of children in both Marathi and English-medium schools. As more children begin learning English at an early age, there is an increasing need for literature that reflects our own culture and values instead of relying solely on foreign texts.

Mrs. Jogdand excels at capturing the essence of children’s imagination and thought processes, creating delightful poems that resonate with Indian values. The simple language used in her work ensures accessibility, making the content relatable for young readers.

What sets this collection apart is its Indian heart, sharing stories rooted in our land, unlike typical nursery rhymes. I believe young readers will embrace these poems, and I hope they will be set to music and recited joyfully. Congratulations to the poet on this debut collection, and to Ladoba Prakashan for their vibrant illustrations that enhance this quality work.
