Written by WSJ bestselling author, Chhavi Arya Bhargava, A Kids Book About Diwali is all about the festival of lights! Celebrated for 5 days every year in the fall, this holiday commemorates the Ramayana, a story which highlights the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. Children get to learn more about this beautiful celebration and how they can participate in Diwali which is now celebrated all over the world!
“This is the book I have wished for as a teacher and a mom. Diwali is a rich holiday filled with amazing traditions, and this is a book that explains it all to anyone … whether they celebrate the holiday or just want to learn more about it. I wanted a book that went beyond storytelling to offer a real non-fiction overview of the holiday, while making it fun and exciting for all. As a former elementary school teacher, this is the book I would have loved to build Diwali lessons from. It’s inclusive of many faiths who celebrate the holiday, including Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists.”
A Kids Book About Diwali’s hardcover copy is priced at $24.99 and is available for purchase on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop. The core themes in the book highlight Beliefs, Identity, Joy, Inclusivity and Sharing. For ages 5
