While selecting literary pieces to adapt, it was important to ensure that the piece had a message that might add value to a child’s development. Pieces were shortlisted based on their message such as -
• Moral value
• Reading social scenarios
• Responsibility towards the planet/ eco-friendly messaging
• Educational concept (math/scientific/historical)
• Language development
• Emotional development/ intelligence
• Critical thinking
A list of literary pieces were shortlisted keeping this criteria in mind and understanding the legal implications such as IPR and copyrights when adapting any of the pieces.
