Critics Review

“A heartwarming intergenerational tale; doting grannies and their grandkids will be charmed.”–Kirkus Reviews“Warm-weather activities at a grandparent’s home provide artful distraction and tender bonding time in a lively picture book from Mirchandani and Hatam….a spirited vision of intergenerational bonds that thrive on adventure, comfort, and reassurance.”–Publishers WeeklyPraise for My Diwali Light

A Junior Library Guild Selection

“[A] vibrant account of a close-knit family and community. MY DIWALI LIGHT should be part of all sets of books about traditions and cultures.”–Booklist

Praise for Hair Twins:

* “A feel-good picture book about diversity, family relationships, and self-love.”

–Kirkus Reviews, starred review

* “Digitally collaged illustrations in a colorful cartoon style by Hatam spotlight a cast with a range of abilities, hair textures, religions, and skin tones. A sweet read that epitomizes a compassionate bond between parent and child.”

–Publishers Weekly, starred review

“A loving portrayal of a father-daughter bond that is strengthened over daily hair care, something that honors the characters’ religion while nurturing their relationship.”

–Horn Book“Mirchandani equates Diwali with collectivity, showing that the joy of the holiday can be shared with family and friends inside and outside of the culture.”–SLJ“Mirchandani’s simple, elegant text explains the holiday, vividly bringing to life a family that loves coming together to share traditions, while Kelkar’s bold use of color (particularly shades of purple, blue, and green) makes the illustrations pop…. A warm, heartfelt ode to Diwali and the joys of family.”–Kirkus Reviews
