Binny's Diwali by Thrity Umrigar

4.0

A lovely story about Binny who shares Diwali with her classmates via a show & tell. The illustrations are bright and cheerful. The story is a good example to younger readers about how exciting it can be to share your own culture and traditions with others. I liked how the story acknowledges how it can be a bit anxiety-inducing to put yourself out there like how Binny did at show & tell- the fear of "othering" oneself is real. But the rewards of building a stronger, more vibrant community are worth it.
