What’s inside...
ABC Ramayana introduces the timeless Indian epic to young readers through 26 beautifully illustrated alphabet spreads. Each letter highlights a key character, place, or event—A for Ayodhya, H for Hanuman, R for Rama—while brief, child-friendly captions summarize the episode’s significance in the broader Ramayana saga. Bright artwork, culturally rooted motifs, and rhythmic alliteration invite children to explore Hindu mythology, values such as courage, duty, and respect, and the vibrant heritage of South Asia. Designed for ages 3 +, the book doubles as an early-literacy tool and a doorway to inter-generational storytelling.
