Diwali Lights

This was a simple, cute book about Diwali celebrations for young children. The book is not about the reason for Diwali, it is about the colours, lights and celebrations that occur around this holiday. The text is done in rhyme and it is very simple. At the back of the book, there is an explanation about the holiday if you are reading this book to older children. All the illustrations are photographs of babies or young children enjoying the sights and sounds. A cute book to use in pre-school or kindergarten classes when learning about celebrations or for a family library who celebrates Diwali. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.

Simple board book of a baby on Diwali. There is a page at the end that explains diwali, at a toddler level. It works, and is a beautiful book. Just not enough for a Diwali novice.
