Can you draw Love? Storytelling by Alankrita Amaya

Step into the world of “Can You Draw Love, Abbu?” by Alankrita Amaya, a picture book that invites young readers to express their emotions through art.

What does love look like? Can we draw joy, anger, or even sadness? There are no right or wrong answers, only our own unique ways of expressing ourselves.

This playful session encourages free expression, empathy, and creativity, while helping kids become more comfortable with their feelings. With crayons, colours, and imagination in hand, participants will leave with not just art on paper, but a deeper sense of connection to themselves and the world around them.

Alankrita Amaya is an award winning children’s book writer and illustrator. Her acclaimed books include Little Laali, Muft Ki Kulfi, Boodabim and Chuglubugloo. Growing up with a steady diet of picture books, Alankrita found her life`s calling in storytelling through illustrations. Today, it doesn`t feel like work to her at all.

Apart from weaving stories and illustrating wonder, she is also the co-founder of Hallubol, an initiative that preserves local Dakhni culture through bilingual comics and picture books rooted in the everyday experiences of South Indian Dakhni-speaking communities.
