Nice introduction to this important Hindu celebration. I think that learning about what other cultures celebrate can tell you how we are all connected; the commonalities that we share expressed through hope. If we would just take the time to try to understand other cultures then I think it might lower many of the tensions we feel towards other communities. A great idea to start with books like this for small children.
