The Jai Jais Collection

Born from a mother's wish to see her own children reflected in the stories they loved, The Jai Jais was created by Sunita Mistry Shah to bring the magic of Hindu Gods and Goddesses to life for the next generation. Beautifully illustrated by James Ballance, each book is crafted to spark curiosity, nurture cultural pride, and make ancient stories feel wonderfully alive — from the very first page.

This complete 12-book collection is designed to grow with your child, taking them on a journey from their earliest years right through to confident independent reading.
