Event Description

Moo-ve over, traffic! Kempi the cow needs to get through!

In this special reading, author Anupama Benachinamardi presents her award-winning book Kempi – The Cow. Published in 2025 by Awwa Pustaka, this is Kannada’s first-ever die-cut children’s book, winning the Best Children’s Book Cover of the Year 2025 at the Publishing Next Industry Awards.

The roads are crowded, horns are loud, and Bengaluru’s traffic is moving so slow. Little Kempi the cow is stuck in the mess, just like all of us. Is Kempi scared? Or will she find a kind and clever way to escape the jam?

Around the World in 50 Sundays is a journey that begins, not with a ticket, but with opening a book. In a city like Bangalore where families are always in motion, the BIC Library hopes to offer stillness and a quiet, welcoming space for both parents and children where reading becomes a shared way of being and not a task.

Every Sunday, we open our doors to invite you into a library that listens; building a rhythm of return, a habit of joy and a new community bound not just by books, but by the weekly ritual of reading together.
