Spring is here, and it’s almost time for Holi, the Indian Festival of Colors. Siblings Mintoo and Chintoo are busy gathering flowers to make into colorful powders to toss during the festival. And when at last the big day comes, they gather with their friends, family, and neighbors for a vibrant celebration of fresh starts, friendship, forgiveness, and, of course, fun!
My Review:
I am so excited to use this story in my class this week to teach my students about the Indian Festival of Colors. Holi is a time to celebrate the coming of spring and flowers. The book follows two siblings as they collect flowers of all colors to turn into powder. The text is written in simple language that allows readers to easily understand the holiday of Holi. The illustrations are beautiful and showcase a community coming together to celebrate spring. A fantastic book to share with readers about Holi.
