Diwali

"People clean their homes for Diwali. They decorate with flowers. They set out many candles and diyas."

Children are naturally curious about why some days are "special" — why we eat (or don't eat!) certain foods, why some days are marked with parades and parties while others are honored with quiet respect.

This fact-filled book explores the history and significance of Diwali with engaging photos, simple text, and a related activity, recipe, or craft.

Designed for beginning readers and enjoyed by all ages! By Trudi Strain Trueit. Paperback, 32 pages. Ages 4-8.
