Iya, a little Kashmiri girl, lives in Bengaluru with her Ammi and Abbu and her talking pet bird, Zoey. She loves traveling around to different places.
During her school vacations, Iya and her family arrive in her homeland, Kashmir, greeted by the breathtaking views of the mountains and lush valleys. During her stay, she learns a lot more about her culture beyond its picturesque beauty. Helping her unravel the heritage of her hometown are her grandfather, Lala, and her grandmother, Boba.
Embark on this super-fun journey with Iya and Zoey and their exploration of Kashmir’s rich cultural heritage!
A little girl was captivated by the culture and traditions and the breathtaking beauty of her homeland, Kashmir. Later in life as a lawyer, she spent years navigating the complexities of legal battles, but beneath her professional exterior lay a passion that she rarely had time to explore: her love for Kashmiri culture and folklore.
Going forward as she stepped into an entirely different role of being a mother, she noticed a troubling trend: many young people in Kashmir were losing touch with their cultural roots, often unaware of the rich history and traditions that had shaped their ancestors' lives. She often remembered her childhood stories about Kashmir and its culture and realized that she wanted to share them with children to help them connect with their heritage in a way that was both engaging and educational.
Thus began Ambreen’s journey from lawyer to children’s book author and eventually an entrepreneur. She decided to start a publishing venture dedicated to creating books that would bring Kashmiri culture to life for young readers. From the legal corridors of power to the colorful pages of children’s books, she has followed her heart, and thus The Quillers’ Club, an independent children’s publishing house, was created.
The Quillers’ Club seeks to ignite a passion for reading in young hearts through two impactful initiatives.
"Praznath: Discover Your Identity" encourages children, especially those outside Kashmir, to connect with their Kashmiri heritage, while "The Reading Rainbow: Every Child Shines" promotes reading as a hobby among children of all backgrounds.
