About Children’s Book:

RIEDU started with a dream. Our own research & Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) Test Reports depicted a global decrease in age-appropriate reading and writing comprehension levels among children. We at RIEDU consider it a dangerous sign. As George Orwell said, “People, who can’t write well, can’t think well and those who can’t think, someone else will think for them”. The quest to find a solution to the issue, led us to create Pole Star : our In-house research-based publication for children formulated from United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4.7. Thus, Pole Star is not an ordinary children’s book. Pole Star is a movement. It is a research based children’s book that aims to nurture the future scions into human beings to build an inclusive world of peace, love, brotherhood, equality & justice.

While creating the Pole Star, another question arose: How do we involve children as active participants in our publication? How to empower them as leaders? How to develop critical thinking? How to imbibe an inclusive approach of the world? Thus, emerged the esteemed position of ‘Young Editors’ an Inclusive Editorial Board comprising of children in the age group of 8-15 years from across the globe. They all are super talented bunch of kids unique in age, gender, color, religion, region, language, ability, and disability selected through our various writing & painting contests that we run on our social media. Every ‘Young Editor’ is loved and celebrated. Thus, each volume of Pole Star is created of, for & by the children.

The Marshmallow’s Little Reviewers

Every Story we publish passes the scrutiny from our little masters. They play many roles in curating The Marshmallow: sometimes they become inspiration to our stories, sometimes editors or story tellers and always our reviewers. We must confess these young, curious and independent minds are difficult to please.
