I’ve mentioned previously in passing that I’ve been working on a kid’s Sikh story book … I’m so excited to share that it’s almost here!
Introducing, “Guru Nanak Dev Jee, My Nana Jee and Me” … A short book for children to learn about Guru Nanak Dev Jee’s basic teachings.
I wanted to share a little bit more about why I decided to write this book … From a young age, our father has always been such an invaluable source of knowledge for us on Gurbani. He often shares sakhia (stories) with us about the Gurus and their teachings and make them relevant to situations we may be in. His wisdom and love for Sikhi has always shone through for us girls. He will often lovingly share stories with Arjun and this ignited Arjun’s desire to know more.
When I began to search for books about Guru Nanak Dev Jee and their basic and beautiful message, I wasn’t able to find one that shared it in a language that Arjun understood and could relate to. And that is where “Guru Nanak Dev Jee, My Nana Jee and Me” was born. A simple book sharing the basic principles that our beloved first Guru taught us. Not only was this book to share Guru Jee’s message to children of Arjun’s age but it was also important for us to depict those that are differently abled, like my Saajan. Guru Nanak Dev Jee said we are all the children of God – their message has carried me through some of my darkest times.
We wanted to create something that could pass on Guru Jee’s beautiful message to the younger generation in a simple and relatable way.
This book is a tribute to my dad who has shared countless stories with us and for keeping the flame of Sikhi ignited in his children and grandchildren.
A huge thank you to everyone that has made this possible – especially my dad, Sukhmani Kaur and @mighty_khalsa. And of course, never forgetting Guru Nanak Dev Jee Maharaj 🙏🏾
The book is now available to purchase over at Mighty Khalsa – link included below. A huge Thank you to everyone that has supported and purchased already! x
