A collection of 4 concept picture books for early readers (ages 3+), blending discovery, early concepts, and visual puzzles with the magic of vibrant illustrations!

Something’s Hiding! – Pooja Sagar’s ingenious story takes us into a little girl’s wild imagination of her father, Colonel Nath’s camouflage uniform. Divya George’s detailed illustrations turn every page into a game of spotting cleverly hidden creatures.

Something’s Floating – Daya Subramanian weaves a delightful cumulative tale, perfectly paired with Rika Sakai’s dream-like illustrations, introducing toddlers to the world of floating objects.

Something’s Missing! – Katy B. playfully introduces the concept of odd and even numbers, brought to life by Rayika Sen’s dazzling patterned illustrations.

Something’s Moving! – In this lively concept book in verse, Daya Subramanian explores the many ways animals move, brought alive by Anusha Sundar’s vibrant Indian folk-art style.

There's plenty to learn, when one just sits and listens. Our publishing director, Shobha Viswanath, conducted a successful workshop about the Power of Listening at Victorious Kidss Educares! Using the chucklesome tale about Muthumama and Muthumami's adventures with a hungry lion, she exemplified the importance of oral narratives and listening as an essential learning tool.
