Our Story

Hi! I’m Vaishnave, and along with my husband, Suraj, we are the founders of Jolly Junior Reads. Originally from India, we’ve been living in Germany for over 10 years now, and we’ve had our fair share of experiences as expats.

When our little one turned just one, we saw something truly special: He loved sitting with us and reading books. It started with him handing us a book and signing for us to read it to him. We would go on reading, and before we knew it, we were running out of books! What amazed us even more was his desire to hear the same stories over and over again. That made us wonder—what happens in that little brain of his when he gets lost in a book?

As the years passed, we realized something: finding books in English was hard, especially as expats in Germany. Not to mention, getting rid of or selling books once they were outgrown was a huge hassle. And being from India, we wanted our child to experience our rich culture and history, but finding Indian cultural books for children was just as difficult.

That’s when we decided to create Jolly Junior Reads—a space where book lovers and parents like us could access the best quality books, ranging from English classics to Indian cultural gems. We wanted to take the hassle out of book hunting, so parents can focus on what matters most: spending quality time with their kids.

At Jolly Junior Reads, we believe in making reading an unforgettable journey—one filled with diverse, exciting, and meaningful stories. Every family deserves to have access to books that inspire and educate, without the stress of managing, buying, and disposing of them.

We invite you to join our family and experience the joy of reading with us. Because every child deserves stories that spark their imagination, and every parent deserves the joy of watching them grow through the magic of books.

Welcome to our world of stories! Let’s create lasting memories together. 💕
