About us

A Wave of Stories, Colours and Puzzles

Alai International is a children’s publisher. We make books that mix learning, creativity, play and imagination.

Our story

Creating Little Moments of Wonder.

Alai (அலை) means “wave” in Tamil. We chose the name because a good book works like a wave: it starts small, with a picture, a question or a funny character, and then it carries a child somewhere new.

Alai International makes books for children: storybooks, colouring adventures, alphabet books and puzzle books. We plan every book page by page, so it is fun to look at, easy to follow and worth coming back to.

Our hope is simple. We want to create little moments of wonder that children and grown-ups can share, one page at a time.

How we make our books

  • Planned page by page

    Each book starts as a page plan, so every spread has a clear job: a story to read, a picture to colour or a puzzle to solve.

  • Puzzles with real answers

    Our puzzle pages are checked so that each one can actually be solved, with an answer key where a book needs one.

  • Made to be shared

    We write for children and the grown-ups beside them, so reading time can be a conversation, not just a task.

  • Honest about every book

    We describe what is really inside each book. You can peek at real pages before you buy.

Our books are sold through Pothi.com in India and Amazon worldwide, as paperbacks and, for some titles, Kindle eBooks. Every book page on this site links straight to that book’s own store listings. Browse the books.
