As an educator, I look for diverse stories that give children an opportunity to identify with the books they read. I look for books that expose children to and teach respect for other customs, traditions and cultures. Shweta Aggarwal's Dev and Ollie series celebrates the uniqueness of Indian festivals and cultures. She uses adventure and humor to engage children while also teaching them about Indian celebrations happening in various regions of India. Dev and Ollie Camel Caper takes the characters on an adventure to the Pushkar Camel Fair in Rajasthan . I had never hard of this festival and loved sharing this story with my students. Each of her books has an information/fact page at the end that goes into the history of the festivals as well as more about the customs and traditions. Shweta's books are a must for your multicultural library and are valuable for all children to read!
