Description

Peek into the magic of Diwali in this heartwarming celebration of sibling love and sharing holidays together!

The Festival of Lights is nearly here! Join Ariana and her family during their spectacular celebration of Diwali.

Ariana can't wait to participate in all of her favorite holiday traditions: making delicious sweets, lighting diyas around the house, and the rangoli competition! As long as her younger brother, Rafi, doesn't ruin everything with his clumsiness, this could be the best Diwali ever.

With vibrant imagery, joyous text, and an important lesson about celebrating the people you love for who they are (especially silly younger brothers!), this lovely picture book is perfect for a family read aloud.

Critical Reviews

Praise for The Best Diwali Ever:

"The book's gorgeous illustrations and chatty, feisty narratorial voice form a brightly colored canvas. . . A joyful Diwali celebration laced with messages that are important year-round." --Kirkus Reviews

"A rangoli contest and an exasperating younger sibling feature prominently in this straightforward tale about Diwali celebrations. ...Prabhat's vivid digital illustrations offer myriad cultural details." --Publishers Weekly
