Ever wondered if reading books helps a child get quality education?
We seldom come across an international best-selling book from Indian authors. It is one such book that not only made headlines with its riveting take on society and human behaviour. It ended up contributing all the money it made to charity.
Published in September 2021, the book sold thousands of copies worldwide, with over 1000 five-star ratings on Amazon, India.
While having zero marketing spend, it still made it to the top charts of Amazon in many counties.
On August 17th, all the money generated from sales of the book was used towards funding a year's education for over 100 girls in rural India.
