Critical Reviews
"Jaunty rhymes and warm, generous family activities mark the beginning of Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, in this picture book that's designed to fill young eyes with wonder." -- Foreword Reviews
"A solid introduction to a holiday celebrated by millions."-- Kirkus Reviews
"Soundar's text reflects a lovely, pluralistic society in which an Indian family's values and practices are affirmed. A necessary addition to any corpus of books about celebrations."--Booklist
