This is Tamizhum Naanum Children’s Books
At Tamizhum Naanum Children’s Books we are passionate about helping children learn Tamil in a fun and effective way.
We believe that offering access to Tamil children's books filled with everyday words is a simple yet impactful way to help your children not only understand the language but also use it confidently in their everyday lives.
By doing so, we are not just teaching language; we are preserving our rich cultural and linguistic heritage within our diaspora community.
Founded by Lilidhashini Mahendran.
"Hello, I'm Lilidhashini Mahendran, but you can call me Lili. I am a proud mum to two little wonders, Anjali (3) and Priya (1). My husband, Tim, and I are on a journey to give them the gift of bilingualism. We truly believe that introducing language through the magic of books is one of the most powerful and effective ways to do it.
Our family has always been passionate about reading, and we have built a treasure trove of English children's books. However, when it came to finding the same wealth of Tamil children’s books, we hit a roadblock. As our girls' English vocabulary blossomed, I took it upon myself to ensure they could do the same in our mother tongue, Tamil.
What I discovered is that many parents, especially in the Tamil diaspora, face the same challenge—access to quality Tamil literature for their children is limited. This realization prompted me to take action, to contribute my part for Tamil. I firmly believe that offering easy access to Tamil books filled with everyday words is a small yet significant step in helping your children not just learn the language but also confidently use it in their daily lives.
Through this endeavor, we're not just teaching language; we're preserving our rich cultural and linguistic heritage within our diaspora community. Thank you for joining us on this wonderful journey."
