One Little Lamp
A heartfelt and joyous introduction to Diwali from the award-winning Rashmi Sirdeshpande, with stunning illustrations from Navya Raju.
In Jai's house the decorations are up, the lights are being lit, Diwali is coming! All the family gathers for the celebrations, the delicious food and treats and the dancing begins. But Jai notices that not everyone shares the same excitement: Izzy, the new girl at school, seems lonely, and their neighbour Mrs Carter wears a sad smile. So Jai sets out to bring joy to those around him, and the spark of an idea takes hold ...
One Little Lamp includes a Diwali non-fiction section to teach the youngest readers all about the celebration.
