The Blue Umbrella is a heartwarming story about a little girl named Binya who trades her leopard claw pendant for a beautiful blue umbrella. The story takes place in a small village in the hills of Garhwal, where Binya lives with her family. The umbrella soon becomes the talk of the village and attracts the attention of a shopkeeper who wants to buy it from her. But Binya refuses to sell it, and the shopkeeper resorts to stealing it. The story is about how Binya gets her umbrella back and how she learns to stand up for herself.

Do I get to choose my books or do you send pre-curated books?
You can choose your books! If you require any help with selection, you can take recommendations from our in-house book expert.
There’s no place to enter my child’s details on the website, how will you know what kind of books I want?
Our app asks for all these details to create a profile for your child.
Once you subscribe to any plan, you have to log in to our neOwn App to select your books.
Before you can view the catalog on the app, you have to enter all your child’s details - including their age, so that we can provide an age-appropriate catalog for them.
Can I see your collection before subscribing? What kind of books do you have?
Yes, you can see our collections here:
Book Collection:
We keep a very wide variety of fiction books for children between the ages of 0-15 years, and we also have a lot of non-fiction and educational books for children between the ages of 0-15 years.
Can I get books for both my children in one library subscription, or do I need to subscribe to the ‘2 Siblings’ plan?
No, you cannot get books for both children in one library subscription. You can subscribe to the ‘2 Siblings’ plan to get books for both your children, where you can get 3 books for each child or 5 books for each child. The reason for this is that we create a unique profile for each child with all their details and provide an age-appropriate curated catalog of books to choose from. This will enable you to see each child’s unique progress as well as all the books they have read in a more organised manner.
How do you sanitize the books?
Our process to ensure the books are hygenic and in good condition:
- We do a thorough check of all books twice - once after they have come back from customers and the second time before they are going to another customer
- We also clean board books to ensure they are 100% sanitary
- If any books are of bad quality we don't circulate them among customers anymore

No, your 30 days will start after the books have been delivered to you.
Once you subscribe, you have to download our app to select your books. After selection, they will be delivered in 2-5 days within Mumbai and 4-8 days outside Mumbai.
Your 30 days start from the day when the books are delivered.
