What. A. Weekend. ✨

We had the most beautiful time at our Kids Lit Pop-Up & workshop weekend at 📍 Hindustan Trading Company — filled with stories, colour, creativity, and so much joy. 💛

Kids of all ages (and honestly, adults too!) joined us to explore wonderful books, discover new stories, and dive into hands-on creative sessions that brought the entire space to life.

From our playful Gelli Printing Workshop to the Little Makers Workshop and storytelling sessions on Sunday, every corner of HTC was buzzing with imagination, laughter, and curious little minds creating freely. 📚🎨

Watching everyone — young and old — participate with such excitement and openness made this one of the most fulfilling weekends we’ve ever had at HTC. Thank you to every parent, child, reader, maker, and storyteller who walked through our doors and made the experience so special. ✨

Until the next one! 💫 Special thanks to our curator who went above and beyond to make this a success. She’s the wind beneath our wings. And I would be remiss if I done mention our amazing storytellers and young Dira. At such a young age the confidence and expressive storytelling was a sight to behold. Having always seen her with a book in her hand (from age 3), I’m not surprised! you should be feeling very proud, I know I am.
