Nehru Centre Library Mumbai and MomSays present A Book I Wrote – 2025

‘A Book I Wrote’ is an annual initiative of Nehru Centre Library and MomSays to encourage children to write, and give them a sense of accomplishment by creating a beautifully designed book with their poems and stories. These books are a testament to the fact that children have the ability to ‘author’ their ideas.

The book comprises winning poems and short stories written by children between 6–11 years of age as part of Nehru Centre Library and MomSays’ Inter-school Children’s Day writing competition.

A Book I Wrote – 2025 theme: Happiness is…

By encouraging children to write about what makes them happy, we want to draw their attention to positive instances – enjoying their favourite treat, spending time with their friends, being around their pet, joyful situations and those around that make them truly happy.

Most of the times, in a world of stress, all it takes is to recognise that happiness is around us – if we choose to see it. Inculcating this awareness helps children become positive human beings and appreciate small moments of happiness.

For this year’s competition, the child must adhere to 100 words for poems and 300 words for short stories.
Please fill the below form to enter the competition. The competition begins on July 25, 2025 and ends on August 11, 2025. 

Wishing everyone the very best!
