"Vayu, the Wind" is the fifth animated story of a brand new series called "Little BookBoxers". Through this series we would like to provide stories that are simple and fun for toddlers (2 to 4 year olds) who have just started reading and learning languages.
As always, our stories are powered by Same Language Subtitling (SLS) that helps improve reading and language learning, subconsciously.

VAYU, THE WIND
Everytime I finish my hot, hot bath,
My wet body feels so cool, cool cool.
Who makes that happen?
Vayu the Wind!
The milk in my cup - too hot, too hot.
But soon it is ready for me to gulp.
Who makes that happen?
Vayu the Wind!
The window curtains flutter
and gently brush my face.
Who makes it happen?
Vayu the Wind!
A bolt of lightning far away.
Black clouds moving my way.
Who makes that happen?
Vayu the Wind!
Branches sway and leaves tremble.
Flowers gently fall.
Who did it all?
Vayu the Wind!
Far from the house, we are playing,
Yet, I can smell the sweets
mother is preparing.
Who makes it happen?
Vayu the Wind!
A glass tumbler on a window sill,
Crashes on the ground.
Thank God, I was not around.
Who played this mischief?
Of course, it was Vayu the Wind!
A whistle blows. A train rolls in.
I cannot see, but hear its din.
Who makes that happen?
Vayu the Wind!
Cannot be seen
Cannot be heard
Does all the work
Without a word
Who can it be?
Of course! The Wind!

Our mission is to produce animated stories that are powered by Same Language Subtitling (SLS) a scientifically tested and proven approach to help improve reading skills and language learning, ultimately promoting a love for reading.
AniBooks flow from a simple fact – children love to watch cartoons. Thus, AniBooks are animated stories for children, with the narration appearing on-screen as Same Language Subtitles (SLS). BookBox was founded in 2004 after winning a business plan competition at Stanford University, called, the Social e-Challenge.
