My Diwali Light
“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. The authenticity and flow of the narrative makes this a great addition to a South Asian collection.”

“My books tell my story and the story of my family. My deepest hope is that all the kids who read my books are inspired to share their stories with the world too.”
