Our story

A little dream, a big vision

What started as a little girl’s imagination is slowly turning into something truly special: books where every child gets to be the hero.

Chapter one

Meet MK.

Her name is Mrinalika Kathuria, but everyone calls her MK. She’s a 7-year-old kidpreneur, and she makes books where your child is the hero.

MK loves colours, stories, music and dressing up as her favourite characters. Her idea is a simple one: what if the hero of the book looked just like the child reading it, with their name, their family and the things they love most?

That idea became MK’s Colour My Story. Today MK and her family turn children’s photos, names and favourite things into storybooks and colouring books made just for them.

with love, colours & countless stories – MK ❤️

What we believe

Every child deserves to be the hero of their story

Four little promises sit behind every book we make.

Imagination without limits

Any world your child dreams up, from unicorn kingdoms to super car races, can become a story.

Learning through colours

Colouring builds focus, fine-motor skills and confidence. It’s learning through play.

Made with love

Every book carries a little imagination, a lot of love, and one special child at the heart of it.

Rooted in culture

Festive editions for Diwali, Dussehra and more help kids feel close to our traditions.

Why a kid makes the best book designer

Grown-ups guess what children like. MK just knows.

  • Bright, happy colours, like the ones in our logo
  • Big, friendly characters that look like your child
  • Adventures that feel exciting, never boring
  • Pages that are fun to colour, with space for little hands

Behind the scenes, MK’s family helps with the illustration, printing and delivery, so every book reaches you looking just right.

The idea

A book where the hero looks like you

MK starts making personalised colouring books and storybooks. Every page is built around one child’s name, photos and favourite things.

Beyond the books

Small girl. Big dreams. Rockstar energy.

When she isn’t making books, MK is on keys and vocals with her band Astral Rush. They took the stage at the Torrins Battle of the Bands.

She loves festivals, dressing up and celebrating every little joy with family. All of that colour and energy goes straight into the stories she makes for other children.
