A perfect book to introduce the stories behind Diwali to your children. Written in rhyme with captivating illustrations, by Bhakti Mathur, author of the best-selling 'Amma Tell Me' Series.

Brilliant firecrackers lighting up the night,
Diyas twinkling like stars - what a sight!
This is Diwali, in all its glory,
As told to little Klaka - a magical story.

His victory over Ravana, the evil demon King.
Next a story of Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth
Who rewards her true devotees with fortune and health.
