Today, we’re reading a delightful picture book to the little monsters—it’s all about Diwali. It’s actually been translated into Dutch, which is a rarity! This way, the little monsters can learn everything about Diwali and really join in the celebrations with their classmates at school.
In this delightful picture book, you can read about how Diwali is celebrated around the world—from cleaning and decorating the home to preparing delicious food and baking treats. There are plenty of lights, visits with family, and gifts, all topped off with a spectacular fireworks display!

- What we especially love is that there is even more information at the back of the book—for instance, an explanation of the difference between the lunar and solar calendars, a fun craft project to make a *diya* (lamp), and a breakdown of what the five days of Diwali actually signify. There’s also a recipe for a delicious Indian dessert and an entertaining quiz. It’s a wonderful book that we’re really enjoy reading to our little monsters!
- 3 beautifully lit stars for *Diwali: The Festival of Lights*—from our little listeners and their readers!
