Celebrate Holi, the festival of colours, sharing and love in
this gorgeous picture book.
Maya loves visiting her grandparents in India, and this year is
extra special because she is celebrating Holi with them. Maya and
her family start the magical day by eating a special breakfast,
including rasgulla dumplings and glasses of mango lassi. They put
on colorful clothing and join the celebration out in the streets.
The air fills with joyful songs and clouds of blue, red, and
purple powder. On this special vacation, Maya can feel the magic
of Holi.
When Maya returns to America, she carries the exhilarating energy
of Holi with her. The spirit of the holiday - hope and forgiveness
and love - keeps her warm.
Thrity Umrigar's heartfelt text and Kamala Nair's richly colorful,
exuberant illustrations fill the pages with happiness and joy.
Featuring a non-fiction page at the back of the book all about
Holi, including a recipe to make your own mango lassi
