Gift of a Moment | Shikha Sharma Krishnmurthy | Aksharansh Publication

About the Book Gift of a Moment was born from soft bedtime whispers, where simple stories slowly unfolded into something deeper, a journey of emotions, choices, and quiet magic. Set in a world where feelings are not ignored but understood, the story follows children who discover that every moment they experience is a gift. Through enchanting encounters with fairies and the mysteries of the forest, they learn that it is not the moment itself, but how they respond to it, that shapes who they become. This book gently guides young readers to pause, reflect, and recognise their emotions without fear or judgment. It encourages them to choose kindness, patience, and courage even when it feels difficult. At the same time, it offers a quiet steer to grown-ups too. As they read along, they may find themselves reflecting on their own moments, how they respond, what they carry, and what they might choose differently. The story becomes a shared space, where both children and adults can learn, unlearn, and grow together. Shikha hopes that every child who reads this story feels seen, heard, and deeply valued and that every adult who reads it rediscovers the gentle wisdom hidden in life’s simplest moments.
