Storytelling in the bookstore

The Dream Makers

The Dream Makers: An Interactive Storytelling Adventure is an experience for children to learn the art of telling stories through technological, social, or collaborative interactive features. Every child is a dreamer; we believe in exploring their dreams and imagination of children. 

The walls of the Honey Bookstore have been filled with laughter and the exciting imagination of children who have joined our interactive storytelling. Using a projector featuring handpicked books that encouraged children to interact with the storyteller created an imagination-filled, interactive storytime for everyone. And make a storytime magical.
