The book is beautifully illustrated, which helps kids understand each story better. Thanks to the large format, the book is convenient for reading together aloud or as a book for early-reader.
If you are looking for a perfect gift for kids, this book will be the best choice.
Please note that Hindu beliefs can vary significantly depending on the region. All the folktales of origin of Diwali are fascinating, but please remember they could differ among different Indian communities. As with every religion and ancient religious works, some very small details may be different from what another person has learned. As this book is aimed at younger children, it does not go too deep into some complex details, especially if they are related to violence or elements that could be difficult to understand for a little-ones audience. As your child gets older, it would be a great time to introduce more advanced interpretation.
