Real Neighbours-Kids Spl.0to6

Neighbourhood: 1 is a warm and thoughtful children’s story set in a small apartment inside a tall building called Chandrasadan.

Here live Ketaki, her aai, and her grantie.

Grantie often misses the old days —
her old house,
old roads,
old neighbours.

“Everything was so much better back then.
None of that is left,” she often complains.

But life has moved on — and this new building has new neighbours, new voices, and new possibilities.

Slowly, gently, the story shows how:

• change is not always loss

• memories can live alongside new beginnings

• and friendships can grow even in unfamiliar places

🏢 A Story Children Instantly Relate To

Children living in apartments, changing homes, or meeting new neighbours will see their own lives reflected in Ketaki’s world.

This book sensitively introduces:
✔ adapting to change
✔ intergenerational emotions
✔ empathy for elders
✔ the joy of making new friends

🌈 Perfect For

• Toddlers and preschoolers

• Children living in apartments

• Read-aloud sessions at home or school

• Teaching emotional awareness gently

• Parents and educators discussing change

With simple language and a comforting tone, Neighbourhood: 1 reassures children that while some things change, connection and friendship can always be found again.
