Reading a book is like the flight of a river tern, curious, unexpected, and full of wonder. We brought the book and the bird together to create Booktern, a joyful leap from imagination to action.

What began as a passion project launched by young writers with a simple goal: to create a reading magazine that soars, has grown into a movement in just four years.

With over 700 school partnerships, we now help classrooms across India combine storytelling with real-world learning.

In 2025, we’re exploring themes that matter:
Stories that spark imagination Mathematics made meaningful Financial literacy for smart choices
Health for body and mind Waste management that inspires change Water conservation that values every drop And there’s more to come, with new topics launching throughout the year.

Whether you’re a school, parent, or student, you’re welcome to be part of the Booktern journey.
