Amma, Tell Me About Holi!

Here’s the magical story of Holi—the Indian festival of colors in all its glory, as told to Klaka, a little boy, by his Amma, with a lot of joy. First, a story of colors and fun. Naughty young Krishna and Radha, his loved one. Next, we celebrate the end of an evil fraud. A monstrous king, who thought he was God. He threatened his own son, who did not think him divine, but against the evil king, faith and miracles did align. A story of faith, devotion, and love, passed down to children, from generations above.

Bhakti Mathur grew up in Delhi, India. She lives in Hong Kong, a city that she absolutely adores, with her husband, her two sons, Shiv and Veer, and their beloved golden Labrador, Frodo. She is a banker by profession and currently works for a major Asian Bank. Bhakti’s love of books started from a young age. Her mother was a librarian and as a child she spent many hours in the library; books proved to be great and inexpensive baby sitters. The idea for the Amma, Tell Me series of books came as a way to introduce her sons to Indian mythology and festivals. When not writing, working, or running after her boys, she is happiest curled up with a book and a hot cup of chai.
