The Little Golden Books have been around since 1942 and the series is still read very much, all over the world. No wonder, because they keep up with the times! The books are now divided into a specific subject, such as Classic Stories, Biographies, Seasonal Stories and Favourite Characters.
The best thing about this book series is that they are made by many different authors and illustrators. They also come from all kinds of countries, so you also get a lot of information about, for example, famous people or all kinds of holidays. The little monsters love these books, so we often buy them.
Our Little Golden book of today is about Diwali, the Hindu New Year, which is celebrated every year in October/November. This picture book is lovely written by the Canadian author Anita Yasuda. All elements of this beautiful festival of lights are represented. New clothes to look your best, your family is very inportant, a delicious meal en lots of lights. At the back of the book you will find a very handy glossary.
The cute illustrations in the book are made by the Indian illustrator Darshika Varma. She brings the whole Diwali festival to life with the most beautiful colours and the adorable children in the book.
