Binny's Diwali

Binny's Diwali by Thrity Umrigar (Illustrated by Nidhi Chanani)
 
Join a young girl named Binny as she celebrates Diwali, the Festival of Lights, and shares her family's traditions with her classmates. This beautiful story is a wonderful introduction to the sights, sounds, and tastes of Diwali, from the lighting of diyas to the sharing of delicious sweets. Binny's initial shyness about explaining her culture gives way to pride as she shares the deeper meaning behind the celebration—the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil.
 
It's a heartwarming and educational book that celebrates culture, family, and the joy of sharing.
