Amin,

I'd like to figure out the right words to fix the blurb. The book makes it clear that many religions have a holiday called Diwali, occurring at about the same time, celebrating the belief that "good always wins against evil." A billion people celebrate, not just Hindus but Jains, Sikhs, Buddhists.

The book makes it sound like a holiday that really would be effective at spreading good cheer & peace on earth, though, like Christmas, there are lots of sweets and boughten gifts included, too, show more which may work similarly to 'secularize' the holiday.

Bright photos with details, also index, glossary, and resources.
I enjoyed the quick read, and learned a lot.

Recommended especially to families with children ages 4-9 who don't already know about the holiday. Lighter than the other volume I've read in the set, [b:Indigenous Peoples' Day|56994632|Indigenous Peoples' Day|Katrina M.
