Divali in my new home sidepicll

This new picture book Diwali in my New Home, by Shachi Kaushik is great for our little bit older mini monsters. It tells the story of a girl from India who moves to the United States with her parents.

It is not a gloomy refugee story, but it makes it very clear how difficult it is to move to another part of the world for good. Even when you have a nice house waiting for you and your parents are very happy with all the new possibilities, you leave everything you know behind. Just think of your grandparents, the rest of your family and your class!

Even though Priya feels lonely at first and it's hard to think of 'home' without sadness, you get used to your new home sooner when you also make new friends. Fortunately for Prya, there are all kinds of people living in her neighborhood who like to get to know each other's background and customs. And if there is a party to celebrate, everything will change!

The warm, cozy illustrations by Ashwarya Tandon make it a so much fun to read this picture book to the little monsters and talk about this beautiful Diwali Festival with them. It's very disappointingthat this beautiful picture book has not been translated into Dutch!
