關於這本電子書

One lamp welcomes the goddess of wealth.
She blesses all with wisdom and health.

Two lamps to thank the sun and the moon.
They give us life, light and good fortune.

Come along as we celebrate the magical moments that make up Diwali, the Festival of Lights, in the warm light of thirteen diyas and just as many treasured traditions. See if you can count all the diyas and celebrate all the wonderful gifts Diwali has to offer--music and mouthwatering sweets, swirling rangolis and sweet-smelling marigolds, laughter and light.

With Chitra Soundar's lyrical rhymes and rich, vibrant illustrations from Amberin Huq, this is the perfect gift to share for one of the world's biggest and brightest holidays.
