Shah Imran Hasan/New Delhi

Shah Taj Khan whose science books for Children in the Urdu language are popular has released another book in the same genre 'Seen se Science' (Seen - an Urdu alphabet - for Science). The award-winning author and journalist, who lives in Pune with her family, got her latest book released by the children of a school at the Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Mobile Library in Vasai (Mumbai).

'Seen se Science' has become an important resource for young students. Shah Taj, who also writes for Awaz-the Voice has contributed immensely to raising awareness and interest of the school-going children in Science. Her style of storytelling to explain complex concepts of science in Urdu has been lapped up by students who don’t have proficiency in the English language.

Her recently released book Picnic was creating waves when Shah Taj Khan came up with Seen Se Science.

Speaking on the occasion, Shah Taj Khan said she has written this book for students so that they connect with an important subject.
