Reviews
I love love love the illustrations and gently rhyming Hindi story. Also love that the main caregiver is a loving Papa which provides a much needed gender-equal family representation. This book would be perfect for parents who are fluent Hindi speakers looking for high quality, original storytelling and authentic illustrations for their young children.
This is such a captivating children's book that will leave young readers excited to learn more about the joyous Indian festival. Our family has been reading this book for two years in a row. In fact, we recently shared the book with my child's classmates during Holi celebrations at school, and all the kids thoroughly enjoyed listening to the story and discovering more about this vibrant festival.
Such a fun book to read aloud with your little ones especially if you want to keep them engaged during meal times. It will make them hungry and ask for more rotis. The book sets a great example of how to spend quality family time and kitchen is such a fun place to create delicious food together!
I enjoyed reading it with my 5 year old.
What a beautiful book! My daughter loved the illustrations and enjoyed learning about Holi. I sent it into nursery with my youngest daughter and they recreated a sensory play activity for the children from one of the images. A simple story for children to follow and gain knowledge of this festival without being overloaded.
