Panmaiveli has been publishing books on Tamil history and literature since 2010. “We are committed to telling the stories of our land and its people through the first-person narrative. These are stories of resistance, of courage and history that the current generation needs for a better tomorrow,” adds the writer, who also works as the deputy general secretary at Tamizh Desiya Periyakkam.

The response at the book fair has been reassuring, the writer shares. The books have intrigued kids, and they remember the characters, returning to the stall to enquire when the next editions will drop. “Some of them want us to write about Captain America, while some suggest Doraemon,” laughs Arunabharathi.
