Priya loves Diwali, but in her new American town no one else celebrates it. What can she do to help her family make this Diwali special and feel like home? Though Priya is the ony one whose family celebrates Diwali , Tandom has added a lovely panoply of diverse characters within Priya’s school and in her neighborhood. A lovely addition to any well-rounded school collection about holidays. If I taught geography at any level, I would keep this holiday on my calender.
