Amma Tell Me About Holi!

Amma, Tell Me About Holi! is a vibrant and engaging picture book for young readers (ages 2–8) by Bhakti Mathur, beautifully illustrated by Maulshree Somani. Told in gentle rhyme, it follows siblings Klaka and Kiki as their Amma recounts the stories and traditions behind Holi—from the joyful color play inspired by Krishna and Radha, to the sacred tale of Holika and Prahlad.

With vivid illustrations and thoughtful storytelling, it helps families and educators spark curiosity while celebrating the richness of Hindu culture.
