Original Language

বঙ্গবন্ধু শেখ মুজিবুর রহমানের শৈশবের ঘটনাবলী, যা দেখে শিশু-কিশোররা বঙ্গবন্ধুর শৈশব, নীতি ও আদর্শের সাথে পরিচিত হবে। কিভাবে তিনি বিপদে অন্যদের সাহায্য করতেন, কিভাবে তিনি সেই শিক্ষা পেলেন, শৈশবে তিনি কী কী ভালোবাসতেন, কিভাবে নেতৃত্বের গুণাবলি অর্জন করলেন, আশেপাশের প্রকৃতি ও পশুপাখির প্রতি তার কী রকম ভালবাসা ছিল- এসব শিশুরা জানতে পারবে।
