Brilliant firecrackers lighting up the night, Diyas twinkling like stars—what a sight! This is Diwali, in all its glory, as told to Klaka, by his Ammaùa magical story. First, the celebration of Prince Rama, his homecoming, and his victory over Ravana, the evil demon king. Next, a story about Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth, who rewards her true devotees with fortune and good health. Bhakti Mathur grew up in Delhi, India. She lives in Hong Kong, a city that she absolutely adores, with her husband, her two sons, Shiv and Veer, and their beloved golden Labrador, Frodo. She is a banker by profession and currently works for a major Asian Bank. Bhakti’s love of books started from a young age. Her mother was a librarian and as a child she spent many hours in the library; books proved to be great and inexpensive baby sitters. The idea for the Amma, Tell Me series of books came as a way to introduce her sons to Indian mythology and festivals. When not writing, working, or running after her boys, she is happiest curled up with a book and a hot cup of chai.
