Orbolo Books was born of a desire to address the challenges faced by parents of the South Asian diaspora who want their children to learn their native languages and about their cultures. Our products are structured around one or more of three major themes:

• World culture: Our products encourage readers to value and respect the diversity that exists between people, yet recognize that certain human elements are universal all over the world.
• World languages: Language equips us with the tools to communicate our thoughts and ideas effectively with others around us. In an increasingly interdependent world, knowledge of multiple languages is an indispensable and highly marketable skill. Research has repeatedly indicated that learning more than one language from an early age boosts cognitive development in children. All Orbolo products are developed in two or more languages to promote multiple language acquisition. Currently our focus is on developing products in English and a South Asian language.
• General and scientific knowledge: The learning process is a cumulative one. Creating an awareness or understanding of the fundamental concepts of different disciplines at an early age will set the stage for later in-depth knowledge acquisition. We encourage our readers to pick up the basic ideas in our products and explore the topics in greater depth with their parents, teachers and friends.
