Every year we have new themes to excite and intrique children. 

In 2014, our first year, the theme was, We, the Children of India and focused on fiction works set in diverse parts of India. For LRSIA 2015, Wild about Wildlife had the children write autobiographies as an animal that they read about. LRSIA 2016, the theme was You be the Judge wherein children became reviewers and even chose the outstanding books of the year. Last year 2017) to commemorate India’s 70th year of Independence, we announced India Meri Hai with the objective of creating sensitive readers and aware citizens who care for our Land, its people, environment and heritage. 

THis year, our theme is Let's Laugh!
As you are aware, the HAPPINESS QUOTIENT has today become an important aspect of our lives. A Harvard Study showed that Happiness comes from choosing to be happy with whatever you do, Happiness and laughter helps the child's mental, physical and emotional growth. Thus enabling them to not just be better students, but better human beings. So we put our heads together and picked the funniest of all books.
