Vini –
3 lovely stories about Rakshabandhan - My 6 year old son is a big fan of the Amma Tell Me series, and we are constantly on the lookout for her book releases. Can safely say that we've got all titles in the series. The Rakshabandhan book, which is the latest title, doesn't disappoint either. As a parent what I like about these books is that there's always more content than just the basic story of Diwali/Holi/Rakshabandhan in there. The Rakshabandhan book even has a story about Rabindranath Tagore and the festival. I love to discuss Indian mythology and culture with my children, and the story plus illustrations make for very good bedtime reading.
