What could be better than a school trip to the zoo? Perhaps a day filled with animal stories shared by their creators against the backdrop of real-life animals. This is a treat that the second edition of The Story 'xpress Storytelling Festival promises to over 300 children from eight NGOs around the city on Tuesday.

Organised in collaboration with the Akshara Foundation and Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum, the festival will have authors Katie Bagli and Shabnam Minwala, educator, animation artiste and writer Chetan Sharma, illustrator Lavanya Karthik, storytellers Meher Gehi and Sarita Shetty and cartoonist Savio Fernandes narrate stories to children and engage them with the content in order to spark their imagination.
