What are the Little Singh Stories?

Little Singh Stories are short, gentle bilingual picture books for young children, starring four-year-old Tegh Singh. Each book takes an everyday moment and gently shows how Tegh Singh finds warmth and confidence in his own identity — in Punjabi and English, side by side.

Are these stories free to read?

Yes — every story on Maastarji is free to read online, in full, with no sign-up.

What age are they for?

They are written for the very young — roughly ages 3 to 6. The sentences are short and repetitive, so a toddler enjoys them read aloud and an early reader can join in.

Do I need to read Punjabi to share these with my child?

No. Every line appears in Gurmukhi and in English. A parent who is just beginning with Punjabi can read the English and attempt the Gurmukhi together. The English toggle lets you hide or show the translation as your child grows more confident.

Tegh and the Gift — a bilingual Punjabi picture book for kids

Tegh and the Gift ਤੇਗ ਤੇ ਤੋਹਫ਼ਾ
At the park, four-year-old Tegh sees his friend Sam's new short haircut and asks Daddy, "Can I have short hair too?" Instead of "it's just what our family does," Daddy shows him something bigger: his hair is a gift — from Waheguru, and from Guru Gobind Singh Ji to all his Sikhs. A gentle, bilingual first answer to "why do we keep our hair?", told in Punjabi and English to read together.

A small hero for the very young

Everyday moments, told bilingually.

Little Singh Stories follow four-year-old Tegh Singh through the everyday questions of being a bit different from his friends — and finds a warm, confident answer each time.

Every page is bilingual. The Gurmukhi comes first, then the English underneath, so a family learning Punjabi can read side by side. The English toggle lets you hide or show the translation as your child grows more confident.
