Let's foster a love of reading in kids without supporting bigotry and hatred.

Indian or Indian-inspired fantasy books by authors of Indian origin, set in either India or abroad.

A list of MG books with main characters with OCD that I recommend. There are plenty of others that exist that I either haven't read yet or don't recommend.

If you have more recommendations or want specific recommendations please comment!
