Welcome springtime and celebrate Holi, the Festival of Colors with this vibrant, inviting picture book.

As cold winter goes away, it's time for spring to come and play. See the growing moon rise slowly . . . It's only one more day till Holi!

Swirling clouds of color. Sweet gujiya dumplings. Singing and dancing in the street. During this special time of year, friends and family come together to celebrate the arrival of spring and the triumph of goodness and love over evil. Young readers will delight in following two siblings as they enjoy all the wonderful traditions and treats Holi has to offer--baking and bonfires, stories and sweets and, of course, a wild day of fun where people shower one another in brightly colored powders!

With Chitra Soundar's lyrical rhymes and rich, vibrant illustrations from Amberin Huq, this is the perfect gift to share for Holi, one of the world's biggest and brightest holidays.
