Meera's Festival Fun: Meera is a little elephant who celebrates Pongal, Diwali, Makar Eid, Holi, and many other festivals across India. Each festival is colourful and unique in its own way. Writer and illustrator Chadha does a great job of exploring festivals throughout the year in India. The illustrations are very appealing to little readers, and the colours are calming and beautiful. I like how she simplifies festivals that are out little readers can understand and make sense of the different festivals across India. A nice board book that is perfect for all ages! As an educator, I would use this book in my classroom at the primary level.
Kabeer's Tasty Treats: From the flavours of Rajasthan to rainy bites, this beautiful book takes us through the flavours of India. On each colourful page, we see Kabeer on his culinary journey enjoying with new characters. The book is colourful, and the perfect size for little readers to enjoy and learn. I thought this book was very unique and cute! As a teacher, I would definitely use it with my students!

Very cute book for children. Great way to teach kids about Indian festivals. Very cute illustrations.
What a cute book for kids with learnings and interesting pictures to illustrate!
Such an informative book for kids with a fun way to learn about our festivals! Love the colours, rhyming words and creativity brought into it while making it enjoyable for both the parents and the kids 🙂
Love the quality of the book. Each dish and festival is beautifully narrated. I bought it for my baby and also gifted it to my nephews.
Fantastic customer service and quality of books. I ordered two books for gifting. Smriti was so personable, went out of her way to help me and accommodate my needs. Comes in the cutest packaging too! The books have high quality illustrations and amazing artwork created by the author! Extremely happy with the products and have already recommended to family and friends 🙏🏽
Count with Krishna is such a sweet and thoughtful book for little ones! My child loves the bright, colorful illustrations and the fun way it introduces counting through Krishna’s playful adventures. The simple rhymes and cultural touch make learning numbers feel joyful and meaningful. It’s the perfect blend of early learning and tradition—definitely a favorite in our storytime collection!
The books are amazing on this site!The desi touch to counting is so much yet very educational. Being a desi mom this has all my heart! My son really enjoys going over the illustrations and keeps asking me to read more. He even picked up a few words.
A delightful and inclusive board book that makes learning about Indian festivals fun and accessible for little ones. My 15 month old loves reading it and looking at the pictures.
The illustration successfully evokes the sensory richness of Indian festivals — the flash of fireworks, the rhythm of dhol, the sweetness of laddus. The book is a great way to inspire curiosity about Indian cultural festivities in young diaspora kids. Can’t wait to see more from the author!
We absolutely love this book! Perfectly sized for my toddler who carries it around 24/7 like a security blanket and exclaims “Samosa! Samosa!” when she’s hungry which is a nice change from “pizza! Burger!” My wife and I also really love the eco-conscious sustainable packaging and even read through the packaging messages with the kiddos! Never to early to teach them about their world! Thank you Desi Kid Store!
Such a beautifully illustrated book. Clean sharp and neat prints and very good quality pages. This book plus a few others made for the perfect Diwali gift for bacchus around me, and it seems like their parents are enjoying the books just as much. I also highly recommend Count with Krishna and Kabeer’s Tasty Treats.
My little one loves this book, and asks me to read it to her again and again! The pictures are very beautifully drawn and introduce Indian foods that even I did not know about :)
Such an amazing book! Brilliant graphics! Adorable stories! Absolutely loved reading this with the kiddos and they can’t get enough of it! We can’t wait to order more great stories like this!!
