The lazy rooster and mouse can't be bothered to help the Little Red Hen harvest her wheat, or help her take it to the miller, or bake it into bread! So when her delicious loaf of bread is ready, she is not at all inclined to share it with them. The rooster and the mouse soon mend their ways!
Harvest Festival

Lighting a Lamp: A Divali Story by Jonny Zucker
It's Divali! Jon in the celebrations and follow a family as they make rangoli patterns, light divas and watch a brilliant fireworks display to celebrate their amazing festival of light. This delightful picture book is a simple introduction to the Divali festival for the very young.

Diwali
