⭐️5 Stars⭐️

I’m blown away by how well this book captured Hindu culture and the beauty of Diwali. This story does and excellent job immersing the reader into the festival through Hindu activities, traditions, foods, the meaning behind Diwali, and just enough playfulness to keep children interested. The family in this story truly felt as though they had come to life.

Beyond the deeply educational story, I was happily surprised to see that the back is filled with more in depth info about Diwali. This included facts, a recipe, DIY activities, and even a short quiz! I loved that it gave children a hands on opportunity to celebrate Diwali, while making the activities simple and easy to follow

I think this book is fantastic for Hindu children as they can learn about their culture, and why Diwali is such a special part of it. It can also make them feel seen, and show them representation of their culture. Lastly, I think this book is really great for anyone who wants to understand a loved ones culture better, no matter the age! I read this for my boyfriend, who is Hindu, and I found that it’s helped me understand Diwali in a more in depth way than any adult book ever has!
