Is that Paras’ Kara?

It is the first Sikh-themed multi-sensory "touch and feel" book aimed at educating about the significance of the kara.

This is a sensory book for all children to access the content including neurodivergent individuals.

Touch and feel books are picture books which contain different fabrics and textures.
Your child can listen to the story and explore the different textures at the same time.

The book contains two main characters Paras and Pete, who go on an adventure to find Paras’ Kara (Sikh bangle). They will observe different types of wrist wear but in the end recognise the huge significance of the Sikh Kara, the fact that it is not an item of jewellery but has been gifted to Paras by the Guru of his Sikh faith.

This is one of the first EYFS books with Sikh representation which will allow children to relate to the characters and follow a journey of discovery.

The book comes with an accompanied lesson plan and a comprehensive bank of resources (accessible via the QR code on the back).
