One lamp welcomes the goddess of wealth. She blesses all with wisdom and health. Feasts. Fireworks. Fun with family and friends. Shine a light on the magical moments that make up Diwali, the Festival of Lights, in this warm and dazzling storybook. During this very special time of the year, join in the fun and count glittering lanterns one by one to celebrate all the wonderful traditions and treats Diwali has to offer - music and mouthwatering sweets, swirling rangolis and sweet-smelling marigolds, laughter and light. With Chitra Soundar's lyrical rhymes and rich, vibrant illustrations from Amberin Huq, this is the perfect gift to celebrate one of the world's biggest and brightest holidays.
