Binny's Diwali

I am surprised by this Diwali book. It is actually engaging and realistic to the typical Hindu kid's Diwali experience. It was not 'telling' what Diwali meant, but 'showed' the meaning through the text and the art. I would give this as a gift to other families, it is THAT good.

Probably one of the best Diwali books I have ever seen! Really well done book! loved the story and pictures! Author and illustrator did a phenomenal job in explaining the holiday and incorporating the spirit of Diwali in the book! The educators note about the holiday is well written too. Really recommend for any classroom or home :)

I loved learning about Diwali as Binny overcomes her shyness and shares her favorite holiday with her classmates. A sweet, positive story with beautiful illustrations that positively glow.

This book was purchased for a little girl that lives in Canada whose parents are from India. I wanted her to know about her heritage and customs. She loved it.

I bought this to my 8 yr old kid and this book has very limited information. I would say only for 5 below I think..

I celebrate Diwali, and as a teacher I wanted my students to understand Diwali in a simple form and connect as closely as possible to the experience that I share about my tradition. This is a great classroom text for your Holiday collection or to keep at home!

Great for our Indian AMERICAN kiDs, not religious yet story is included, love it. Much needed, thanks again, our stories matter!

Amazing storyline and pictures for my toddler who loves it.

Lovely book with colourful illustrations. I liked that it was about Binnys journey and real challenges a child might face but also introduces different cultural aspects of Diwali. This was perfect for my collection of my Diwali books for my children aged 4 and 6.

I got this book for my kid. It is an excellent book. Enriches kids knowledge of India's festivals and mythology. Illustrations are also big, bold and beautiful.
