Celebrate Diwali, Christmas, and Hanukkah: One Joyful Inclusive Story
How do children around the world celebrate Diwali, Christmas, and Hanukkah-and what makes these celebrations both unique and beautifully similar?
This warm, engaging story invites young readers to explore cultural traditions through curiosity, friendship, and shared joy.
A Story About Friendship Across Cultures
When Caleb, a new neighbor, joins a Diwali-themed playdate, everything feels new and unfamiliar.
Riya and her friends are excited to share their celebration but they soon realize that making someone feel included is just as important as the celebration itself. As the children navigate questions, traditions, and moments of curiosity, they discover something powerful: Cultures don't lose their sparkle when shared. They shine brighter.
