"Soundar's text reflects a lovely, pluralistic society in which an Indian family's values and practices are affirmed. A necessary addition to any corpus of books about celebrations."-- Booklist, "Diwali, the Hindu celebration of both literal and metaphorical light, spans five days of rituals, camaraderie, and well-wishes. Young readersthose who do and dont celebrate Diwaliwill smile along with the family here as all the members of their household, young, old, and canine, prepare the house for the celebration. Precise couplets on each page describe the preparations and traditions, while vibrant illustrations supply the context and details. Donning new clothes, the family welcomes visitors, the elders pass stories on to the younger generation, prayers are offered, and finally, the lamps are lit as the celebration is shared with the larger community. Soundars text reflects a lovely, pluralistic society in which an Indian familys values and practices are affirmed. Pictures depict a modern, intergenerational family living in a diverse community. Diwali traditions include feasting together and reaching out to others with gifts and donations. A necessary addition to any corpus of books about celebrations."

A necessary addition to any corpus of books about celebrations."-- Booklist, "Soundar's rhyming picture book gives readers an overview of the Hindu celebration of Diwali as it is celebrated in large parts of North India and by the North Indian diaspora.Diwali is celebrated on the night of the new moon, and so after 'Grandpa watches the waning moon' and notes that 'the festival is coming soon,' an Indian boy and girl help their family clean and decorate the house. Then they all don new clothes, sing hymns and light lamps together, and exchange gifts and sweets with their neighbors, all in celebration of the holiday. Family members wear a combination of traditional Indian and Western attire; the suburban setting looks Western. It ends with a joyful greeting: 'Shubh Diwali, to one and all. / We wish you joy, big and small!' Soundar's use of 'Shubh' in the titlemeaning 'auspicious' or 'holy'instead of 'Happy' is welcome, as is Chua's inclusion of neighborhood diversity (white and black families as well as a person using a wheelchair). As an entry on the holidays shelf, it breaks little new ground, but North American shelves hardly overflow with Diwali titles. An author's note explaining the regional and religious differences in the celebration of Diwali across South Asia and the diaspora and a glossary of common terms provide readers with additional scaffolding.A solid introduction to a holiday celebrated by millions."
