BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: SOME
Sejal, an 8yo Indian American girl is so excited to celebrate Diwali, her favorite Indian holiday. During Diwali her family dresses in fancy clothes, decorates their porch with colored sand and eats a huge feast. A hurricane warning threatens to ruin their plans to celebrate. Sejal and her cousin Mira turn a card box into an airplane and fly into the hurricane to try and stop it.
I enjoyed learning about Diwali and Indian culture. However, the plot seems to be for a younger audience, but it goes into detail about hurricanes which may be hard for the intended audience to understand. Black and white illustrations are plentiful throughout the book.
