Why Kids in America Need Indian Mythology Stories

Growing up in America as a child of Indian parents can be tricky. At school, kids talk about Halloween, Christmas, and the Avengers. At home, parents talk about Diwali, Holi, and Krishna. Sometimes it feels like two worlds colliding.

That’s why mythology matters.

Stories are the threads that connect us to who we are. When kids read about Rama’s devotion to duty, they understand loyalty. When they hear about Ganesha’s wisdom, they learn the importance of knowledge. When they see Hanuman’s courage, they learn that bravery doesn’t come from size or strength but from faith and heart.

For kids in America, Indian mythology offers more than entertainment—it offers identity. It gives them a way to explain to friends why they celebrate Diwali, why they tie rakhis during Raksha Bandhan, or why Holi is full of colors. Comics make those explanations easier and a lot more fun.

At The Patel Comics, we turn ancient epics into bite-sized, beautifully illustrated adventures. Parents don’t have to worry about “where do I start?” and kids don’t feel like they’re reading a textbook. Instead, it feels like discovering superheroes—but superheroes from their own culture.

Every child deserves to grow up with stories that reflect their heritage. Indian mythology doesn’t just belong in India—it belongs wherever Indian families raise their kids. That’s why kids in America need these stories, and why we’re proud to bring them to life.
