Rama and Sita: The Story of Diwali
From award-winning author Malachy Doyle, with brilliant illustrations from Christopher Corr, "Rama and Sita: The Story of Diwali" is a fabulous story inspired by ancient Indian legend.
Rama and Sita live happily in the forest - until Sita is kidnapped by the demon king, Ravana.
Ravana is pure evil incarnate, and means to make Sita his bride.
But brave Rama enlists the help of mischievous but resourceful Hanuman, the Monkey King - and the two begin to follow a trail that clever Sita has left for them.
The two must confront Ravana and his might, but sometimes a quick mind and resourceful planning can outwit brute force.
This is a fabulous version of the well-loved Indian legend, explaining how the festival of Diwali came about and is still celebrated internationally today.
Whether you're looking for a Diwali gift or a simple introduction to the Diwali story to share with your children, this beautiful book, now reissued in a larger picture book format, is ideal.
"Rama and Sita: The Story of Diwali" by Malachy Doyle and Christopher Corr is out now, published by Bloomsbury Education (kindly supplied for review).
