This a relatable little holiday story about a girl named Gauri. As her family prepares for Holi, each person is assigned a colour and must make a coloured powder. But Gauri doesn't get the colour she wanted, so she sulks all day and doesn't get anything done. Later, Grandpa tells the kids the story of Holika and Prahlada, and Gauri realizes maybe she's been acting with too much anger in her heart. So she works hard all night to try to make things right.
I've read a few Holi picture books. This is one of the stronger ones. The story is engaging, and isn't just about the festival. I enjoyed how Gauri's childhood anger and entitlement was portrayed, and how the issue was eventually resolved. There's a great author's note at the back that explains more about Holi, and there's even some recipes for making coloured waters, just in case you feel like getting joyfully messy.
Overall, this is a nice picture book about Holi with strong themes of family, compromise, and making the best of things when they don't turn out exactly as you wanted.

The language of this book is quite matter of fact and dry, so that the joy of the festival and the anger felt by the young girl don’t come though. The illus are beautiful and help to make traditions one is unfamiliar with clear.

HOLI HAI! is one of the most beautiful PB stories I’ve read. Written by Chitra Soundar and vividly illustrated by Darshika Varma, this highly educational PB tells the story of a young Indian girl, Gauri, and her family as the prepare for the Holi Festival.
As the family members pick colors to make gulal (the colors thrown in Holi), Gauri is upset because she didn’t get the color she wanted. As the festival approaches, Gauri learns the meaning of Holi and learns to set aside her anger, eventually making her own gulal.
The author describes the gods behind the festival and tells a condensed version of the story, ensuring that kids learn that it is about celebrating the rebirth of spring and how love wins over hate. I really loved how the author not only included a page about the festival and a glossary at the end, but also dedicated a third page showing how kids, with adult supervision and help, can make their own water-based gulal from natural ingredients (red cabbage, turmeric, etc.).
This PB will no doubt help children learn about and appreciate Indian culture and to see the beauty in it by understanding the festival’s origins. The illustrator did a phenomenal job of using bright colors to illustrate the author’s text. I highly recommend this book!

This is a lovely picture book that is both informational about the Indian holiday, Holi, but also shares a relatable story of a young child figuring out how to deal with their anger. Backmatter includes a note with further information about the holiday. This story is simple enough for younger children to understand while also supporting a good story.

Charming illustrations about a holiday that everyone would benefit from celebrating. Good back matter. But somehow the joy and theme of the festival don't come through to me. If this were my first introduction to the concept, I would dismiss it... other books have made me really wish that I could participate. See Festival of Colors.

March 4, 2024This book follows a family as they prepare to celebrate the Hindu festival of colors. When Gauri, the young girl, does not get the color she wants for the celebration she becomes upset and is reluctant to help prepare for the festivities. She overcomes her anger by reminding herself of the positive things she has in her life and is embraced by her family as they celebrate. This book would be good to use when talking about dealing with feelings and how we can overcome hard feeling. This book would also give students an insight into the Hindu culture and celebration.

Delightful family story about a girl unhappy with the choice of color left to her to prepare for the Holi celebration. Nice folktale and author note explains more about the origin of the Hindu festival. Exuberant illustrations. I’d like to experience this holiday.

I loved Gauri’s arc in this, and the parallels between her and the story of Prahlada. Also, the illustrations were GORGEOUS! I think if people ever want to expand their knowledge on non-Christian and non-Western holidays, traditions, etc., children’s books are a perfect place to start. Books like Holi Hai! usually include information at the end that is digestible and just enough where if you want to delve deeper beyond the book, you can! I recommend this to everyone!

I've enjoyed many of Chitra Soundar's other books and was so excited when I saw she'd written a picture book about Holi (especially as so few picture books about the holiday exist, at least for US audiences). From the back matter, "Holi, the festival of colors, is celebrated across India to mark the onset of spring. In the south of India, this festival is celebrated by some communities as the festival of love. There are many origin stories for this festival, one of which, the story of Prahlada, is explained in this book."
I'm happy to say the book did not disappoint. Soundar does a commendable job of conveying not only the way in which a family today celebrates Holi (with the food, family togetherness and, of course, the joyous celebration of throwing colors on one another to welcome spring) with the religious background of the holiday (in this case, grandfather tells "one of the legends of Holi" about the evil demoness Holika and her nephew Prahlada, who was kind and good to everyone, his love defeating Holika and her evil plans). It is no small feat to combine these in a children's picture book for young audiences and, while perhaps adults may be left with wanting further details, I think it is done very well for the target audience. Many children may be able to identify with the young girl in the story, Gauri, and how she is initially disappointed that she did not draw her favorite color from the hat and instead has to make red powder for the Holi celebration. Yet, through the story grandfather shares, she remembers that anger doesn't bring joy. "When we celebrate Holi tomorrow, we will have love in our hearts for everyone, just like Prahlada did," Mom says. And Gauri learns to let go of her upset feelings and, instead, focus on all the wonderful things she likes that are the color red and on the fun she and her family will have when they throw all the colors together on one another.
The accompanying illustrations are vivid and joyful. My youngest loved the part where they are using big squirt tubes to spray the colors on one another and he also liked seeing all the foods spread out for the big feast. The back matter explains what each food means and also what flowers and plants from nature can be used to make the various colors for Holi (beets for purple, turmeric for yellow, pomegranate for red, red cabbage for blue, spinach and mint leaves for green). This reminded us of another spring holiday in which we take beautiful colors from nature and turn something white into something vibrantly colored to welcome spring -- Easter and dying Easter eggs!
We also watched this video featuring a group of children explaining their holiday of Holi and a bit about the Hindu religion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7NZE...
I appreciate that the video reminds audiences that Holi is celebrated around the world, not just in India, and that you don't have to be Hindu to participate.

Gauri and her family prepare for the Hindu festival of Holi in this sweet picture book from expatriate Indian author Chitra Soundar and Indian illustrator Darshika Varma, each one making a different gulal, or colored powder or liquid to be used in the celebration. Although angry at first that she didn't get her favorite color, Gauri is reconciled to the situation after listening to her grandfather relate the traditional Holi story of how Prahlada defeated his demoness aunt Holika, without ever descending into anger. Deciding that she too can avoid anger, she realizes that the color she was assigned (red) symbolizes many wonderful things...
I have enjoyed many of Chitra Soundar's books, including her Farmer Falgu picture books, her folktale-inspired collection, Mangoes, Mischief, and Tales of Friendship: Stories from India , and her other Hindu holiday picture book, Shubh Diwali! , so I was excited to track down Holi Hai!. There is a dearth of good children's stories about this festival of colors here in the states, so I was very pleased to see that she had produced one! If found her story here engaging, and think that many young children will be able to relate to Guari's feelings of disappointment, even if the holiday itself is unfamiliar to them. The accompanying artwork from Varma is colorful and cute, in a somewhat cartoon-like way, and adds to the sense of fun, while the author's afterword gives more specifics about the holiday, as well as a glossary of terms used in the book. Recommended to picture book readers and listeners looking for good Holi stories, or children's books with an Indian cultural background.

April 4, 2022“Gauri thought about the anger in her heart. Could she let it go and be more like Prahlada?”
Gauri’s family is preparing to celebrate Holi, the Hindu celebration that welcomes Spring. A big part of the Holi celebration is the wonderful explosion of the bright colors that represent spring. To make sure each family member is a part of the celebration, they each are responsible for making a specific color of gulal, but when Gauri doesn’t get her favorite color she’s no longer excited. It isn’t until she learns that Holi is more than just the colorful gulal, but represents love and happiness, that she truly appreciates this cultural celebration!
As an outsider, the celebration of Holi has always seemed magical and joyful with its bright and colorful celebration, so this story really caught my interest! The beauty was captured perfectly in Darshika Varma’s color-popping illustrations, and I also learned so much about the preparations for Holi and the origins of the holiday in this story. I really love how the emotions that Gauri was experiencing were paralleled to the mythology at the heart of the celebration. Though it was hard for her at first to see past her own unhappiness about not getting her favorite color, she realized that the love she had for her family was stronger than the anger she was feeling. Regardless if you are familiar with the Hindu holiday, for a colorful and heartwarming read, check out Holi Hai!

A wonderful story to celebrate Holi. At first, Gauri is excited to celebrate with her family and welcome spring with colorful gulal. But when she doesn't get her favorite color, her excitement turns to anger. A great story with an emphasis on forgiveness, acceptance, new beginnings, and love.
The book shares various aspects associated with the holiday such as the making of gulal, feast foods, and the tale of Holika and her nephew, Prahlada. The backmatter includes additional information about the festival, a glossary of terms, and a short section on making your own gulal to celebrate.
Wonderful use of color and imagery. This is a beautiful book with a lovely message. A fantastic read that perfectly captures the triumph of love over anger and good over evil.

Gouri is anxiously awaiting Holi, a Hindu festival that celebrates the first day of spring. The next day, the family makes gulal or "colored powders made from things in nature like leaves, spices, and flowers. Everyone closed their eyes and pulled out a colored paper from the bowl that grandma had brought in. Gouri was upset because she didn't get her favorite color. She refused to create her color or help anyone create their colors. Gouri's grandparents tell her a story about love and forgiveness, and Gouri realizes that she did not like having anger in her heart. Gouri then gathered red petals from a tree by her house, and crushed them into powder. Grandma reminded Gouri that red is the color of love. Gouri apologized to her grandma for getting upset earlier. In the garden, the family sprayed and splashed colors on one another, and then eats a big feast altogether.

I received an electronic ARC from Albert Whitman & Company through Edelweiss+.
Soundar shares a story about Hai! that explains the holiday and also relates it to the character's emotions. Gauri did not get the color she wanted when the family drew papers to determine which one they would make for the holiday. She was angry and refused to work with anyone else nor make her red powder. Readers see the others work on theirs and create their colorful powders from natural objects. After hearing the story of this holiday, Gauri understands that anger is not the way to cope and creates her color too. She apologizes and joins the celebration.
Lovely illustrations capture the characters' emotions and the joy of this holiday.

When Gauri doesn't choose her favorite color--gulal--to create for Holi, she sulks around the house, unable to share in the joy of creating gulal from natural things. That is until Grandpa tells the kids one of the legends of Holi that allows Gauri to release the anger from her heart and be more like the hero of the story.
Soundar has an impeccable way of writing children's picture books about Indian culture that is both accessible to non-Indian children (providing quick explanations of long-standing traditions) while remaining true to Indian children that don't need pages of explanation for their lived experiences. Triumphant, universally relatable, and joyous.

The library had a big Holi spread in the children's section, and who among us doesn't love Holi? WHO??? Some mood music.
Anyway. What I took to be an introduction to Holi as a day and concept turned out to be a VERY relatable story about a girl getting mad about a perceived slight (she got the wrong color), and learning - through the power of a Holi story - how to let go of her anger and accept love and softness back into her heart. BOY OH BOY do we sometimes need that lesson over here.
Art was gorgeous. Appreciated the suburban backyard.

A lovely introduction to the story behind the holiday of Holi, a spring renewal holiday. Gauri is upset by the color she selected from the bowl before the holiday. She chooses not to help prepare. Her grandmother tells the tale of the holiday and Gauri realizes she has to reconsider preparing her color. All have a wonderful holiday with lots of color to spread with joy and love.
This is a sweet story about a holiday for our students who celebrate Holi and for their friends to better understand the celebrations. There is an afterward from the author, a glossary, and even a guide for how to prepare colors found in nature.

I liked that this book told about Holi while also having a story about a girl who is upset that she didn't get want she wanted. The girl ends up making amends and it's all very realistic. I also learned a lot about Holi. The only thing I didn't like is that I found it awkward that all the other colors were just "blue" "red" etc but orange was "saffron orange" every time. Maybe I'm missing something though and there is a reason for that. Orange is even left out of the backmatter which tells readers how to make colored powder. *shrug* just seems weird to me.

I picked this book up at my public library and absolutely loved it. This is a great combination of stories, from overall holiday traditions to this individual family's celebrations plus a message of forgiveness and learning to embrace what you have (in this case, Gauri didn't get her favorite color but she'd risk missing out on the celebrations if she didn't adapt!). None of these themes distract from one another, so the story does accomplish a lot within its pages without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. The illustrations are also A+++++ and the whole book is beautiful.

I was delighted to find a picture book for young children about the holiday Holi. I believe strongly in the importance of sharing information about many cultures in the classroom, and students delight in seeing a familiar feature of their family's culture represented in school. The main character in the book is a young girl with realistic behaviors, including non-cooperation at times. The book gives easily understandable explanations of what the family does to prepare for their celebration, and it all looks like so much beautiful, colorful fun. A nice addition to my repertoire.

Gauri is so excited to celebrate Holi with her family, but she doesn't get to pick her favorite color. She's upset by this. However, her grandparents' story of the Holidays' icon, Prahlada, who keeps love instead of hate in his heart, may change Gauri's tune.
Enjoy this colorful, imaginative and cultural story of love, family and Holi.

An understanding of the holiday is told in this children's book about Holi. And of course it's got the bright colors of the powders that are thrown on everyone as part of a celebration that includes family, food, and welcoming in spring using an ancient story.
The only criticism is the font and illustrations feel more digitized than illustrated with a unique approach that many illustrators bring to the duo of writer and artist.

I really liked this book! The illustrations are very colorful and it tells a really good story! I would definitely read this book in my classroom, because it talks about the Hindu festival Holi, the festival of colors, which many students might not know about. It also talks about foods connected to the festival, I could connect this book to a lesson about Holi and some of the main elements of the festival!
March 13, 2025
Along with the information (likely introduction) about Holi, this story features a girl who is angry when she doesn't get her favorite color as her gulal making project (using natural elements like flowers and spices and fruits). She goes from relative to relative, all who ask if she'd like to help. After she hears an elder's Hindu Holi story, she realizes she is surrounded by love and needs to leave the (red) anger behind.

Holi Hai! should be in all libraries available to children. The colors are gorgeous and story is universal. While the book is about Holi it also shares messages of love, joy, and family. Children will feel a connection with the main character. I can easily see story time inspiring your own Holi celebration. Bonus: The book includes instructions on how to make your own gulal from nature!
January 19, 2022
i loved learning about Holi - and the illustrations and bright colors are super appealing. but for as long as the text is (and it is maybe a little too long), the emotional resonance doesn't quite land. it's so clear that Gauri's emotion is jealousy and not anger - and because the story doesn't seem to understand this, it misses the mark.
February 19, 2022
Wonderful book! So pretty with a great story about the holiday. Plus, there's a recipe on how to make colorful water if you want to celebrate the holiday, a section that explains the holiday more, and a glossary at the end of the book too. The illustrations are absolutely amazing. I loved them so much!
August 3, 2022
I would love to use this for a lesson during the week of the Holi Festival or around springtime to teach about Holi Festival. I really appreciate that the author includes a page about Holi traditions and a page with definitions of words used throughout the story.
