The whole story is adorned by bursts of colour and energy by Christopher Corr. * The Irish Times *

 

Each double page is bright, full of colour and representative of the Diwali festival itself where colour is so significant. * Mamma Filz *

 

It is a text that will work well at home as a story or in the classroom. This is supported wonderfully by Corr's artwork, and his signature vibrant colour schemes are a perfect match to the dazzling colours of Indian culture and landscapes. * Library Mice *
