About Crossword:

Crossword, Kemps’ corner, is the flagship store of the Crossword brand. It has been a beloved cornerstone of the community for over four decades, providing a wide range of books and literary experiences for readers of all ages. Their store-in-store with Smartsters is their latest endeavour to inspire the youngest members of our community to fall in love with the magic of books.

About Smartsters:

Smartsters is the result of a labour of love by parents who are deeply acquainted with the confines of indoor settings. Kids spend the majority of their time at home where they live, sleep, learn, play, dream, and form the strongest ties. Their immediate surroundings have an impact on their emotional, physical, social, and cognitive growth. Smartsters understands that carefully planned interior environments may promote children's growth and development. They questioned the traditional design of children's interior spaces to reimagine them from ground up.
