The Light Within You: A Diwali Book for Kids that Teaches the Importance of Family and Love
The Light Within You is a beautifully illustrated Diwali book for kids that teaches the importance of family, love, and the light within us.
Diya’s journey to India for Diwali helps her connect with her culture and discover the true meaning of the holiday.
Diwali is a Hindu festival that celebrates the victory of light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance.
It is a time for families and friends to come together and enjoy each other’s company.
People decorate their homes with lights and candles, and there are often fireworks displays.
Diwali is a time for celebration and joy.
It is one of the most important festivals in India and is celebrated by millions of people around the world.
I loved reading The Light Within You and learning more about Diwali and the meaning of the holiday.
I think it is a great book for kids who want to connect with their own culture and kids who are learning about Diwali for the first time.
The illustrations are beautiful and capture the story well.
I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a meaningful children’s book.

Diya is excited to be going to India for Diwali, the Festival of Lights.
That means she’ll get to spend time with Nani, her beloved grandma, who she hasn’t seen since her family moved from India.
Now India is 7,850 miles away…
Once Diya arrives in India, she immediately feels at home with Nani.
Together they go shopping at the bazaar and prepare for the festival. As Diya and Nani celebrate Diwali together, Diya’s heart soars.
But all too soon, her trip will come to an end.
Is there a way for Diya to take some of the light and magic of Diwali with her when she leaves?
