Garland Of Lights: A Diwali Story
Written by Chitra Soundar
Illustrated by Amberin Huq
Published by Bloomsbury Children's Books
One lamp welcomes the goddess of wealth.
She blesses all with wisdom and health.
Two lamps to thank the sun and the moon.
They give us life, light and good fortune.
Come along as we celebrate the magical moments that make up Diwali, the Festival of Lights, in the warm light of thirteen diyas and just as many treasured traditions. See if you can count all the diyas and celebrate all the wonderful gifts Diwali has to offer—music and mouthwatering sweets, swirling rangolis and sweet-smelling marigolds, laughter and light.
