My Little Book Of Holi by Ashwitha Jayakumar and illustrated by Swarnavo Datta is an astonishing board book that highlights the customs, traditions and stories behind the festival of colours: Holi.
With introducing the young readers with balloons, pichkaris, gujiya, malpua, bonfire, and of course- colours, the book beautifully shows the inclusivity and diversity through the illustrations and the detailing of the illustrations is a delight.
The book also tells the story behind Holi- the story of Hiranyakashipu, Prahlada and Holika in very friendly and simple words for kids, making them connected and intrigued with our Indian Festivals, diversity and traditions.
Suitable for children age 3 and up, this vibrant book is a delight and shows how the festivals are a medium for the reunion of family, friends, and a riot of happiness and laughter.
