New Children’s Book by Amita Shah Explores India’s Spring Festival, Holi; Released by Dog Ear Publishing
Through the eyes of a young boy, children and adults learn about the Indian tradition of Holi, the festival of colors, a popular festival that follows the full moon in March each year. During the celebration, people welcome spring by throwing colored powder or water on each other. The boy can’t wait for spring and the celebration to begin, so he starts using his colored powders even before the festival starts. The book details the rich traditions of Holi.
San Jose, CA, March 30, 2011 --(PR.com)-- "It’s Time for Holi!" details the rich traditions of Holi, reminding all that a new season leads to brighter days. The story, told with alliteration and rhyme, comes to life with Diane Lucas’ lovingly drawn illustrations.
