Amma Take Me
The Amma Take Me series was born from my desire to bring India’s incredible heritage and faiths to life for children. Through the eyes of Amma and her two ever-curious kids, we travel together to temples, churches, sufi shrines, gurdwaras, and other sacred spaces across India. Each book blends mythology, history, and storytelling in a way that’s both engaging and easy for young readers to connect with. I wanted these stories to help children appreciate the beauty of our traditions — not as something distant or old, but as something living and full of wonder. Published by Penguin Random House India, the series is ideal for readers aged eight to twelve (though parents often tell me they secretly enjoy them too!).
Amma Take me to Taj Mahal is a book from the series of visiting world-famous sites where Amma and her two boys; Shiv and Veer visit. All the characters are fictional but the site. The author Bhakti Mathur in the book tells in detail about the history, facts associated along with the architecture of Taj Mahal. The book has numerous impressive and amazing illustrations along with the story by Priyankar Gupta adds charms to the book.
The language is absolutely simple and easy to understand keeping in mind the children who would be the readers. My daughter age 8 was easily able to read most of the book and she could understand it easily because of the illustrations. She has gathered a vast knowledge about the Taj Mahal and has taken notes while reading.
