A young family in India is about to celebrate Diwali, the ancient Hindu festival of lights, in contemporary times. In Lights of Diwali the author has taken one of the ancient world’s epic stories The Ramayana and recapped it for a new generation of young readers. It is a gem for young children, from all backgrounds, to learn about the nation’s culture and traditions for it is told through the eyes of a child who holds a deep reverence for the goddess Lakshmi.
