The Story Of Divaali
The Story of Divaali is a wonderful rendition of the "Ramayana," an age-old Hindu epic filled with magic, miracles and adventure. The compelling story tells of a young prince Rama who overcomes Ravana the Demon King. Out of his triumph, Divaali, the Indian festival of lights, is born.

Elephant Dance
My summary-"In this book Grandfather has made a journey from India to visit his grandchildren in a multicultural country (perhaps America?). The Grandfather takes his Grandson on a virtual journey experiencing India through his imagination as his Grandfather answers his questions. The pictures are beautiful and the language is inspiring highlighting many important things from Indian life"
Ravi and Anjali are fascinated by their grandfather's stories of India, where the sun is like a ferocious tiger, the wind is like a wild horse, and monsoon rains cascade from the sky like waterfalls. Ravi particularly loves to hear about the festival of Divaali, where parading elephants take pride of place in their grandfather's memories, and he dreams of having an elephant dance to the tune he composes on his flute.
