After giving birth to her daughter in the United States, author Chandni Bhatia was inspired to teach basic Hindi to young children. In My First Hindi Book, Bhatia presents a colorful and creative way to teach children counting, colors and animals in Hindi.
Bhatia offers a bilingual book with the Hindi written in English, making it easy for parents and children to read and pronounce together. “As the only Hindi speaking parent to my daughter, I found introducing my native language quite difficult and set out to write a book to playfully teach her some introductory Hindi,” Bhatia says. “To my knowledge, there are very few Hindi-English children’s books. My hope is that other Indian parents living abroad will find the book helpful for their own multicultural homes.”
My First Hindi Book is available for purchase online at Amazon.
