Maya's Holi
Acerca deste livro eletrónico
Maya loves visiting her grandparents in India, and this year is extra special because she is celebrating Holi with them. Maya and her family start the magical day by eating a special breakfast, including rasgulla dumplings and glasses of mango lassi. They put on colorful clothing and join the celebration out in the streets. The air fills with joyful songs and clouds of blue, red, and purple powder. On this special vacation, Maya can feel the magic of Holi.
When Maya returns to America, she carries the exhilarating energy of Holi with her. The spirit of the holiday -- hope and forgiveness and love -- keeps her warm.
Marking the end of winter and the beginning of spring, Holi takes place on March 14, 2025. It offers people the opportunity to begin anew -- to have a fresh start. Thrity Umrigar's heartfelt text and Kamala Nair's richly colorful, exuberant illustrations fill the pages with happiness and joy. Informative back matter will teach readers about the history and traditions of Holi.
