My Little Book Of Diwali by Ashwitha Jayakumar, illustrated by Swarnavo Datta is a stunning board book that highlights the customs, traditions and stories behind the festival of lights: Diwali.
The book introduces the young readers to lamps, lights, flowers, sweets, and something without which Diwali at home cannot be imagined— cleaning. The illustrations beautifully and majestically support the story to make it more fun and vibrant.
The book also tells the story behind the festival of Diwali and why it is celebrated. In very few, friendly and simple words, the book introduces the readers to Lord Rama, his fourteen years exile, the kidnapping of Sita Ji, and his homecoming and paves the way for the interaction between parents/guardians and young readers for further discussions and storytelling.
Suitable for children aged 3 and up, this book shows us the importance of our festivals, the reason behind them and how they could be passed up to further generations, making us more connected with our roots, culture, heritage and diversity.
