THOUGHTFUL STORYTELLING. DIVERSE VOICES. THAT'S DAFFODIL LANE.

We are an independent children’s publishing house based in Mumbai. We create stories that children want to return to, and that grown-ups enjoy reading again and again.

Our books explore contemporary themes like self-esteem, empathy, friendship, conflict, and care for the world around us. We believe in stories that open up conversations, invite curiosity, and stay with you long after the last page.

Each book on our list is carefully curated for emergent readers, with thoughtful attention to language, illustration, and design so that every page feels engaging, intuitive, and alive.

At its heart, Daffodil Lane is Books about connection: between children and stories, and between children and the people they read with.
