Diwali is a very special time for people all around the world and celebrates the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.

Diwali captures the magic of the celebration by exploring how Sonali and her family mark the festival of light. Join Sonali and her brother Jay as they make rangoli patterns, cook up a feast with their nani and nana, light divas, watch fireworks with their cousins, and visit all their friends and family with gifts and delicious treats. Sonali invites the reader into her home and family, allowing the reader to experience this special celebration first-hand through an authentic narrative non-fiction story.

A fun 16-page 'factivity' section follows the story and delves into more detail about how the festival is celebrated around the world. Enriching activities are also included, such as making a salt dough diva, designing your own rangoli pattern, and making delicious shrikhand.
