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.
