Legendary Lives - Dr Kiran Bedi
If cartoons dominate children's lives, there are pillars of inspiration like Dr. Abdul Kalam, Dr. Kiran Bedi, Sachin Tendulkar, Amitabh Bachchan and A.R. Rahman who dominate their passions. Our aim is to inspire young minds by bringing these "Legendary Lives" closer to children.
This series is a collection of stories based on real life anecdotes from one such legendary life. These anecdotes capture the human side that is often obscured by the stellar power of their achievements. The foremost goal of BookBox’s ‘Legendary Lives’ series is to inspire young minds by bringing these larger than life figures closer to children.
About these stories:
