Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Tell your children about Holi, the Indian Festival of Colors, by reading this beautiful children's picture book to them, written in rhyme with captivating illustrations.

Siblings Klaka and Kiki gather with their friends and family to celebrate this spring festival which symbolises new beginnings, friendships, forgiveness, and a license to being naughty and playing pranks! At the end of the day as Amma tucks the brothers in bed, she answers their countless questions - Why do we color one another on Holi, where does Holi get its name from? Why do we light a fire the night before Holi?

Amma Tell Me is a charming and informative series of children's books that introduces the major Hindu festivals and figures to young readers and are perfect for families wanting to share stories of Hinduism with their children or for educators looking for resources on Hindu culture for their students. The series brings Hindu mythology to its readers in a fun and non-preachy way. The Series has fourteen books. For ages 2 to 8.
