Mom's Review
When Riya is not too keen on being outside after dark and would rather celebrate solely by eating her favorite trats, her mother explains the reasons for celebrating Diwali as they do. Readers experience the days of Diwali through Riya's eyes, learning different practices. Once Upon a Diwali is perfect for young children who want to learn about the holiday. As part of the Holidays in Our Home series, it effectively introduces Diwali to non-celebrants. Back matter including an author's note, glossary, recipe, and craft expand the audience's understanding and appreciation beyond the pages of the book.
