Description
This is a story that helps kids see the meaning of the festival of colors, as it related to today's life. It helps build understanding of being humble, fighting colorism and the fact that we all belong.
About the story -- Taran doesn’t want to play Holi with the kids in his neighborhood. They boss him around. They have made fun of him. It’s not a great feeling to be picked on. Why then does his grandmother ask him to celebrate the Holi festival with them? Through the story, Taran sees what Holi represents.
Join Taran and Sejal in book 2 of the Taran and Sejal Inclusive Celebrations series, as they discover the why of festivals.
The Hindi translation and English transliteration are a great way to practice, be introduced to or comprehend one of the most spoken languages in the world.
