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.
