A festival of light, and the family glowing in the middle of it.

A gift among the lights

Diwali fills a home with diyas, color, and people. A book about the family that gathers for it belongs to the whole festival, a keepsake to open each year as the lamps are lit.

The traditions that are yours

The rangoli at the door, the sweets only your family makes, the relatives who travel in. The small, specific traditions become the story.

Light, home, and the people in it

We write and illustrate a warm story starring your family. It becomes a book read each Diwali, the children finding themselves on the pages.

Ideas to Start With

Every book begins with a moment. Here are a few to spark yours.

The Night the Lamps Are Lit

The family placing diyas together as evening falls, the house growing brighter, a story of light and togetherness.

Sweets in the Kitchen

The flour, the sugar, the family crowded in to make the mithai. A warm, happy story of a shared tradition.

Everyone Comes Home

The relatives arriving, the house filling up, the particular joy of the whole family under one roof.
