A colorful and immersive book that introduces kids to the joy and meaning of Holi through an exciting first-hand account.



Every March, people across India and around the world celebrate Holi, the Hindu festival of color, new life, love, and spring. In Celebrations & Festivals: Holi, the festival is brought to life through the eyes of two children who are celebrating Holi with their family and friends.

- A recipe to make delicious kulfi ice cream

- A fun quiz to test out all your knowledge



In this immersive exploration of Holi, young readers join a family as they celebrate. Seen through the eyes of young children celebrating themselves, this is a simple and exciting way to introduce little ones to this special period.
