Amma, Tell Me About Holi is a remarkable book for children parents and grandparents alike.
It is written by Bhakti Mathur and stunningly illustrated in vivid, vibrant colours by Maulshree Somani.
It's part of a series of books that charmingly introduces children to the major festivals that play an important part in the Hindu religion.
Although it is aimed, primarily, at Hindu children and their parents it will be widely welcomes by all parents, grandparents and children who like to learn about the world that surrounds them.
The reason why Bhakti began writing the books is interesting. She wanted to buy some books on Hindu festivals for her young children but faced a major struggle in sourcing any. So like a good mum, she decided to start writing her own books.
The books in the series are aimed at children from ages 3 to 9, and are perfect for families and for educators needing material for pupils or students.
This book tells the story of Klaka, his many, many friends, his brother Kiki and his golden-coloured dog, Frodo.
Every night their Amma tucks Klaka, Kiki and Frodo into bed and she reads them a story.
This time Amma tells them about Holi, the Hindu festival of colours.
The book is published by Anjana Publishing at £9.50 each.
(Happy Diwali to all our readers.)
The book is available from our online shop, which you will find here here https://goo.gl/01Utnw.

Schiek promise that their special Keystone Thumb feature offers the wearer a much better fit around the thumb area.
About this reinforced thumb area. My wife suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and she has had special devices designed and sourced by her specialist.
My wife, out of curiosity, decided to try on the Schiek Model 510 gloves and was immediately absolutely stunned by what happened to her hand.
The pain in her thumb and her wrist vanished within seconds and she said: "Wow! These gloves are giving me much greater support than that special support the hospital provided me with! And that's supposed to be made to my exact measurements!"
(EDITORIAL DISCLAIMER: Obviously neither myself, That's Christmas or Schiek is making any promises as to the efficacy of this product in regards to alleviating the symptoms of conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, but my wife knows her condition well enough to identify the positive result that had occurred!
