A Father’s Verses: Nehru’s Letters in Poetry

Dear Reader,

In 1928, a father wrote a series of letters to his ten-year-old daughter, unfolding the grand story of our world-from the birth of stars to the rise of civilizations.
These letters, tender and wise, became Letters from a Father to His Daughter, a book that has inspired generations to see history not as dry facts, but as a living, breathing adventure.

This book, A Father’s Verses, reimagines Jawaharlal Nehru’s timeless lessons as poetry.
Why poetry?
Because just as Nehru believed that a child’s curiosity is the key to understanding the universe, poetry is the key to unlocking wonder.
It turns the slow cooling of the Earth into a lullaby, the first flicker of fire into a rhyme, and the epics of India into a ballad sung by time itself.

Here, you’ll find Nehru’s original ideas preserved like fossils in amber, but set free in stanzas that dance. Each poem is paired with a snippet of his words, so you can hear both the father’s voice and the poet’s echo.
The illustrations?
They’re windows into a child’s imagination-where dinosaurs wear monsoons as necklaces, and the moon whispers secrets to the Himalayas.
This book is for:

• Children who ask ＂How?＂ and ＂Why?＂ (and adults who still do).
• Dreamers who see history as a story, not a syllabus.
• Fathers, mothers, and teachers who know that the smallest questions (＂What is civilization?＂) have the biggest answers.
