With Alia Bhatt Turning Children's Book Author, Here's Why You Should Build Storytelling Habits With Your Child
Alia Bhatt embraces storytelling with the launch of her children's book, Ed Came Home

Alia Bhatt wears many hats. She is an actress, entrepreneur, executive producer, mother, and now a writer. Yes, you read that right. Alia has launched a children's storybook titled Ed Finds A Home. This book is the first publishing venture of her kids' clothing brand, Ed-a-mamma. The apparel line was launched before she welcomed her daughter, Raha. Alia shared two pictures on Instagram. In the first slide, she is happily posing with her debut book. Up next, we get a closer look at the book's cover, which features a girl and a dog.

In her elaborate caption, Alia Bhatt wrote, “A new adventure begins. ‘Ed finds a Home' is just the beginning of a new series of books from the universe of Ed-a-mamma. My childhood was full of storytelling and storytellers .. and one day I had a dream to bring out that child in me and put it into books for children.”

“I am so grateful to my fellow storytellers, Vivek Kamath, Shabnam Minwalla and Tanvi Bhat, who with their wonderful ideas, inputs and imagination helped bring our first book to life...Fingers crossed for this journey ahead. You can now find the books available online, and in major bookstores,” Alia Bhatt added.

Just like Alia Bhatt, if you are also a parent, you must read stories to your tiny tots. Wondering why? Below are some benefits of storytelling:

1. Builds Imagination: When kids listen to stories, they picture the characters and places in their minds. This helps them become more creative and think of new ideas.

2. Improves Language Skills: Hearing different words and sentences in stories helps kids learn how to talk and write better. They pick up new words and understand how to use them.

3. Teaches Lessons: Stories often have messages or morals. They can teach kids about right and wrong, kindness, sharing, and other important values in a fun way.

4. Strengthens Focus: Listening to a story requires kids to pay attention and remember details. This helps them improve their concentration and memory.

5. Creates Bonds: Sharing stories can bring kids and adults closer. Whether it's parents, grandparents, or teachers, storytelling time can be a special way to connect and spend time together.
