About the Book
Mishki and Pushka are back! And they are full of excitement because Daadu Dolma is going to tell them all about India's many colourful festivals.

What is Lohri and how is it similar to Pongal? What do the five days of Diwali stand for? What is Losar and who celebrates it? Why do people fast before they feast on Eid? What is a menorah and when does one light it? What's the story behind Guru Purnima?

With so many communities and such a long history, the people of India have many, many reasons to celebrate all year long. Join your two favourite explorers and their wise old guide on a journey across the country and find out all about the colourful clothes, the delicious food and the stories behind India's festivals.

Festivals of India is part of the Discover India series of books that contain lots of fun facts and engaging activities. Through these books, delve into the history, culture, food, festivals, wildlife and monuments of India, and find out what makes this diverse nation such a fascinating place to be.

About the Author
Sonia Mehta is a children's writer who believes that firing up a child's imagination means opening up a world of adventure. She has been writing for children for over two decades. Her body of work is wide-ranging-she has created one of India's first dedicated children's newspaper sections; conceptualized the Cadbury Bournvita Quiz Contest for TV; and has written books, songs, poems and stories for leading publishers in India, Africa, the USA and the UK.

She lives in Mumbai and runs Quadrum Solutions, a content company she co-founded. She is also the co-founder of PodSquad, a children's edutainment retail brand that firmly believes that children learn best when they are having fun.

Most days, Sonia can be found pounding away at her computer-when she is not playing with her dachshunds, the two little loves of her life.
