Let's Celebrate Holi! Worksheets

by Ajanta Chakraborty and Vivek Kumar

Maya and Neel land in India from Chicago with Chintu the squirrel to celebrate Holi with their cousin Ameya, whom they call Didi. They hear the story of brave Prahlad and the king's sister Holika, visit a market heaped with gulaal and pichkaris, and join the neighbors at the bonfire the night before Holi. Then come colored water, water balloons, a Dhol and new friends, a giant book about how different places in India celebrate, and Thandai and Gujia in the kitchen. A cheerful first look at Holi, India's Festival of Colors.
