Look a little closer
Every corner of every page is drawn with care. Swipe to shine a light around this kitchen from One Fine Day.
An Appa who cooks!
The shloka thanking Devi Annapoorani sits beside a kitchen scene. The parent at the kadhai is Appa. His skin is brown, deep and warm like him. Indians come in every shade, and kids meet that whole range across their books.
On carrot duty
Kids love real responsibility. The kid here has his own board and his own carrot, and dinner needs his work. The whole point is to make the shlokas part of moments like these.
The masala dabba
Colourful katoris you can spot from a mile away. The masala dabba lives beside every Indian stove. Probably yours too. Kids light up when a book shows things from their own house.
Fridge door decor
A tiny tricolour, a toy truck, a towel on its hook. Every corner of every page gets the same care as the faces. Kids find something new on every read.
Devi, Priya & Aseem
We are Priya & Aseem, amma and appa to Devi. Long, long ago, Priya asked one question: can a child fall in love with a shloka book? Surely we could present our beloved shlokas better than on black and white pamphlets! And so, Priya created The Little Shloka Book.
As the series grew, Aseem built the player so kids could learn to chant the shlokas word by word. We can hardly believe that we've been packing books for kids all around the world for ten years, and that now Devi does it with us.
The books she carries everywhere!
She is so fond of these books that she always carries them in her hand.

Frequently asked questions
What age are the books for?
For kids of all ages. They are tough, baby-proof board books. Your one-year-old will be delighted with the pictures as you read each shloka aloud. When they start reading themselves, the books have English transliterations. With the player, everyone can master their pronunciation and read in Devanagari too.
How many shlokas are in each book?
Each book has thirteen shlokas. One Fine Day follows kids through the day, from waking up to bedtime. Oh My Gods has shlokas on some of our most loved goddesses and gods. In Gimme Some Space, two kid astronauts meet all the Navagraha deities in a ride across our solar system. Every shloka gets a full spread, so a book is thirteen illustrations as much as it is thirteen shlokas.
What is the size of each book?
Each book is 4 inches by 4 inches. All three books are the same size, small enough for little hands to hold.
How do I get the shloka player?
You get the link when you purchase a book. It runs in the browser on any phone, tablet, or laptop. There is nothing to install and no account needed. You tried it on this page. The full player works the same way for every shloka in your books.
How long does delivery take, and what does it cost?
The price you see includes shipping. Within India the books reach you in 4–7 working days. Outside India, allow 3–4 weeks. You get a link to your order page by email and WhatsApp with every purchase. The tracking link lives on your order page.
I do not know the shlokas myself. Can I still teach them?
Yes. We made these for exactly that parent. The books have English transliterations. The free player shows each line and its meaning, in English and Devanagari. Press play, and start chanting word by word. Learn the shlokas with your kid.
